OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Stirrups (Figure 8)
WARNING
Failure to engage the stirrup lateral locking mecha-
nism could allow patient to lose balance resulting
in personal injury to patient.
Extending the stirrup to functional position:
1. Gently lift and pull straight out of the table to the
desired extension. Extend the stirrup to the functional
position.
2. Lift the end of the stirrup and rotate stirrup to the left
or right into one of the four possible lateral positions.
Stirrup will drop into each position as it is rotated.
3. When the desired position is attained, lower the
stirrup. Check that the lateral locking mechanism is
engaged by attempting to rotate stirrup assembly
without lifting on the stirrup end.
4. To adjust the stirrup extension length, hold the end
of the stirrup and lift gently while sliding in or out until
the desired extension is achieved.
Retracting the stirrup to the storage position:
1. Rotate stirrup to the first lateral position (parallel to
the table).
2. Fold stirrup down against bar.
3. Lift stirrup slightly and push to slide back to stowed
position.
NOTE: Applying any downward pressure on the end of
the stirrup while sliding it in or out will result in movement
difficulties. This is a normal part of the stirrup locking
mechanism. For ease of movement, lift up slightly while
sliding the stirrup in or out.
