Instructions for Use EF-100W   Arm/Wrist, Arm Cradle 

Introduction:

  

The EF-100W Arm Cradle with Wrist Attachment   

has two upright posts with foam grips.  The hand is wrapped 
around the Hand Grip and rests on the 4” diameter Hand Stop.  
The arm rests against the other post.   The following instructions 
will provide information in the use of this unique feature.   The 
basic operating instructions for the EF-100/100W 

, so please read that section thoroughly before 

proceeding to this section, the Wrist application.

1.   Attach the Crank  Arm to the Steel Boss protruding through 
hole in the   Casing, first rotating the Crank Arm until the hole at the 
end of the Crank Arm is exposed.  Then place 9/16” bolt and lock 
washer through hole and into the Boss.   Tighten bolt securely to 
hold arm mechanism in place,   Fig. #2. 

2. Under The Arm Cradle you will see the White Wrist Movement 
Selection Lever (Fig.#2). This White Plate sits on a circular, 
slotted plate,   (Fig.#1)   into which 5 slots have been cut (Fig. #1).   
These slots are numbered from zero to four.    When the Selection 
Lever   on the White Plate is in the “

 position there is no Wrist 

movement.   In this position the Hand Grip is stationary. 

4.   To apply Wrist movement, lift the White Lever until the lever 
clears slot “0” and slide the White Lever across the Black     Plate 
and allow the pin to drop into Slot “1”.   This will provide   the 
minimum wrist movement.   Moving the lever to a slot with a higher 
number (ie: 2,3 or 4) increases the degree of wrist movement.     It 
is suggested that you start with Slot 1 and work up to the other 
settings gradually to avoid any   discomfort.     The various settings 
may be applied before or after placing your arm in the arm Rest.
