INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
5.
If desired, install the optional cervical traction bar on the
support top-side of the head-end H-bracket as follows:
a. Determine the hole location for the cervical traction
bar.
NOTE: The hole locations are numbered on the side of the H-
brackets.
b. Put the bar into the H-bracket openings. Make sure that the bar is level by
verifying that each end of the bar is installed into the H-bracket at the same
numbered hole location.
c. Make sure the drop lock on each end of the bar moves to the side to hold the
bar in position.
d. Pull the traction rope from the bowtie down and underneath the bar.
NOTE: The bar has an indentation to help keep the rope in position during cervical
traction.
WARNING:
The maximum weight load for the traction assembly is 50 lb (22.6 kg). To exceed
this weight could cause patient fall, injury, or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Make sure the traction weight is in a safe position, free from possible unintended
movement. Failure to do so could cause patient fall, injury, or equipment
damage.
WARNING:
Do not press the Cervical Traction Release button while traction weight is being
applied. To do so could cause the assembly to retract and the traction weight to
move. Patient fall, injury, or equipment damage could occur.
6.

• The traction weight is in a safe position such that it is free from possible
unintended movement.
• The traction rope stays in the indented section of the cervical traction bar.
• You do not press the Cervical Traction Release button while traction weight is
being applied.
