Safety devices of the suspension system
1 Release bar
Allows non-sterile persons to release the magnetic brakes of the sus-
pension system.
2 Adjustment screw for limiting the downward travel
Use this screw to set the minimum vertical distance (working distance)
from the surgical field. Check this setting before each surgical proce-
dure.
3 Locking knob
for locking the suspension arm in its horizontal position.
Before removing or attaching a unit (microscope, tube, etc.), move the
suspension arm into a horizontal position. Pull out the locking knob
and turn it clockwise or counterclockwise through 180°, while slightly
moving the suspension arm up and down until the lock engages.
When locked, the suspension arm can no longer suddenly spring up-
ward when insufficient weight is attached. After attaching a unit, per-
form the balancing procedure.
