Using Air-Drops
5.1 Drop Selector Switches
The Drop Selector Switches (photo 12)
activate the table drops. You may select
one or up to four drops simultaneously.
Once selected, pressing the Pressure
pedal (or optional foot strips) activates
the drops. Once drops are discharged,
pressing the pedal or foot strip again immediately reactivates them.
Drop-Tension Control Knobs
The Drop-Tension Knobs are located on the left side of each drop (#15,
page 2). Turn the knob clockwise to increase the firmness of the drop—
counter clockwise to decrease.
Caution: Do not loosen Tension Knobs too far Adjusting the tension knobs out too
far can cause the cervical (and pelvic) drops to malfunction. See The “Trouble
Shooting” section on page 16 for more detail.
Headpieces
6.1 Tilting Headpiece
All Air-Flex models are equipped with a tilting headpiece. The lever for tilting is
located under the front of the headpiece (A, photo 13). It controls the angle of tilt
3 positive or negative. Pull the lever to unlock; adjust the angle; release to lock.
6.2 Dual-Drop Headpiece
The Dual-Drop headpiece contains two drops—a drop-forward motion and a
straight-down drop.
Important Note: Before changing any of
the settings described in the following
section, be sure the headpiece drop is
discharged.
Drop-Forward Motion Headpiece
To use the Drop-Forward Motion of the
headpiece, the setting lever should remain in the side channel of the setting
mechanism as shown in photo 14. Be sure that the pin locks into the receiver
behind it—otherwise, the drop will not work. For a manual drop, push up on
the black cocking handle to engage.
For Air-Cervical Drop, see section 5.1.
