Insert rod for transverse connector
The special design of the transverse connection sleeve with
the two indentations on the upper side means that the trans-
verse connector rod can be angled by up to ± 20° depending
on anatomical conditions.
Determine the appropriate length of the rod for transverse
connector
3.5 mm. If necessary, cut the rod to size with
the rod cutting and bending device.
Hold the clamp with the small hexagonal screwdriver and
pass the cross-link rod
3.5 mm through the hole in
the cross-link clamp. If necessary, use the holding forceps to
insert the rod for transverse connector. Tighten the set screw
of the cross-link clamp firmly with the small hexagonal
screwdriver.

Mount second cross-link clamp
Repeat the procedure described in Step 1 for the second
clamp on the opposite rod.
Pass the cross-link rod
3.5 mm through the hole in the
second clamp so that it projects 5 mm above the clamp.
Tighten the set screw firmly with the small hexagonal screw-
driver.
