Adjusting the tilt angle
Using knob (1), you can position the surgical microscope in a range from
+180° to -180° (+ in the direction of the surgeon and - in the opposite di-
rection). The +90° setting is ideal for surgery on patients in a seated po-
sition or lying on their side.
Caution:
Do not tilt the main microscope / -180°, as this could damage
the microscope cable or the light guide.
•
Turn knob (1) until the surgical microscope is in the viewing position
required.
After the viewing angle has been set, the surgical microscope remains in
this position. The gear drive is self-locking.
Warning!
–
To prevent the assistant's microscope from moving downward of its
own accord when the main microscope is being tilted, the assistant's
microscope must be adjusted and locked in position using screw (2)
before surgery.
–
Check that the assistant's microscope is firmly seated.
–
Do not tilt the main microscope / - 180°, as this could dam-
age the microscope cable or the light guide.
•
Using locking screw (2), secure the assistant's microscope in the se-
lected working position (on the left or right of the main microscope).
•
Turn knob (1) until the surgical microscope is in the viewing position
required.
After the viewing angle has been set, the surgical microscope remains in
this position. The gear drive is self-locking.
