4. Using the ½" open end wrench, the ratchet, and the ½" socket, install a
swing pivot nut (C) and washer (E) on each swing pivot bolt (A).
5. Using the torque wrench, torque the nuts (C) to 40 + 6 in-lb
(4.5 + 0.7 N·m).
CAUTION:
Ensure that the force required to move the siderails of an OB/GYN
Stretcher from the stored position is not great enough to give the
impression that the carriage, when moved into the exam position, is at
full travel when the cattle catchers contact the siderail swing arms.
Failure to do so could result in equipment damage.
6. Check the amount of force required to store the siderails.
NOTE:
If the force required is too excessive or too easy, adjust the torque on the pivot
bolts until the desired force is obtained.
