1

Loosen all hardware adjustment point screws 

allowing for full articulation of the head support 

to a desired position. 

2

Hold hardware and pad in place while tightening each 

joint. 

Note that adjustments may be affected by each 

other as gear teeth engage and require compensation 

from other joints before final tightening.

ATTENTION: It is crucial that gear teeth in all joints are 
properly aligned and engaged for a secure set up.
