Adjusting the cradle
The cradle can be adjusted sideways as desired. In
doing so, the curved end of the cradle must face the
seat section of the examination and treatment chair.
Loosen the toggle screw of the cradle.
Align the cradle to the desired position.
Re-tighten the toggle screw of the cradle.
NOTE
If the toggle screw of the Göpel leg support is tight,
an attempt to adjust the Göpel leg support will
quickly damage the Göpel leg support.
For this reason, loosen the toggle screw of the Göpel
leg support before adjusting the Göpel leg support,
and apply only moderate force to make the adjust-
ment!
