SSEMBLY
The Cervical Traction Release control is a push button on the upper-left
side of the head-end column.
1. Push the Cervical Traction Release
button. The assembly moves out
from the column.
2. Pull the assembly out from the
column, and make sure the
assembly is in the locked-out
position. The Cervical Traction
Release button will return to its
original position.
WARNING:
The maximum diameter of the traction rope should be 0.25" (6.35 mm).
The use of a traction rope that is greater than 0.25" (6.35 mm) in diameter
could cause binding inside the cervical traction assembly. Patient injury
could occur as a result of inaccurate traction.
3. Put the traction rope through the
hole in the center of the bowtie. The
rope will go through the traction
assembly and out the left side of the
column, near the release.
4. Put the traction rope over and
around the pulley.
