installation, please refer to page 9.

Place the therapy unit
on the footboard of the bed using the self adjusting hanger
which accommodates up to a 7.5cm (3”) thickness footboard. Alternatively the
therapy unit can be hung on a suitable IV pole using the integrated IV Pole Clamp
located on the rear of the case. Always operate therapy unit in an upright position.

The IV Pole Clamp should only be used on poles that are in excess of 2.2cm (.9”)
diameter and are securely attached to a bed frame or a stable stand. To ensure
stability of the therapy unit on the IV pole, it should be clamped no higher than 2
times the width of the pole base. The clamp should be sufficiently tightened to
ensure that the therapy unit cannot slide down the pole.
