Tilt Stand Assembly
Lay the Tilt Stand so that as the colposcope head is tilted
forward and remains stationary without continuing in a
forward motion.
Align the ball joint to base plate with the four bolts and
washers.
Use the socket wrench provided to tighten the four outer
bolts securely.
Use the red bolt centered on the bottom of the base
plate for adjusting the tilt friction of the ball joint. Tighten
the red bolt to the desired tilt friction so that the colpo-
scope head remains stationary or tilts with moderate
pressure. (Clockwise increases tilt friction, counter-clock-
wise decreases tilt friction).
NOTE:
Do not overtighten the red bolt.
NOTE:
The tilting friction of the ball joint may loosen
with use. Retighten as necessary.
The narrow side of the base plate and transformer must
face the operator when in use. The operator should place
his/her feet onto the base plate when using the colpo-
scope.
The adjustment knob (A) is used for the gross height
adjustment of the colposcope.
