Getting started
To use your SimMan, carefully follow the instructions provided in
the “Install Guide” (found in the peripheral box) and this document.
Some configurations are delivered with pre-installed software.
If your system is not pre-installed, pay close attention to software
set-up. Your SimMan will not operate correctly if the software is
not properly installed.
Attaching the Legs:
1) Remove the belly by pulling gently on the bottom and place it
aside.
2) Remove the bag from the leg.
3) Remove the cardboard packing tube from the threaded steel
tube protruding from the upper end of the thigh.
Caution: Do not allow tape or packing to pull on the wire or
air tube extending from the steel tube.
4) Open one Tank Thigh Hardware Kit (1008080) and place the
hardware in a convenient spot.
5) Gently feed the electrical wire and plastic air tube through the
pelvis hole and into the pelvic cavity.
6) Push the steel tube on the thigh as far as possible through the
hole and into the pelvic cavity.
DO NOT PULL THE LEG BY THE ELECTRICAL WIRE
OR PLASTIC AIR TUBE
7) Slide the flat washer from the hardware kit over the wire, air
tube, and steel tube.
8) Slide the spring from the hardware kit over the wire, air tube,
and steel tube.
9) Slide the thumb nut from the hardware kit over the electrical
wire first, and then over the air tube.
10) Holding the thigh in a convenient position, thread the thumb
nut onto the steel shaft until the feel of the hip articulation is
satisfactory.
11) Attach the thigh air tube to the open connector on a similar air
tube in the pelvis. Right leg tube goes to the tube on the right
side, and left goes to left.
