Adjusting Counterbalance
The VHM Arm must be adjusted to counterbalance the mounted instrument throughout the Arm’s vertical range of motion.
When properly counterbalanced, the VHM Arm will maintain its height when the Locking Lever or Locking Knob is
disengaged. Because instrument weights vary, adjustment will typically be required to achieve optimal performance. A
1/2" [13mm] socket wrench is provided for this critical adjustment.
WARNING: Do not attempt counterbalance adjustment unless the instrument and accessories are
mounted on the Arm. Use caution while performing this procedure.
1. Grasp the Arm behind the mounted instrument(s) to prevent sudden upward motion. Carefully unlock the Arm and
move it to a horizontal position that allows access to the Adjuster Cover (below left). Lock Arm in horizontal position.
2. Open the Adjuster Cover by inserting a flat blade screwdriver in the slot at the rear of the Cover and prying upward. If
necessary unlock and readjust the Arm until the Counterbalance Adjuster bolt is accessible through the Adjuster
Cover (below center). Lock Arm when Counterbalance Adjuster is accessible.
3. With the 1/2" [13mm] socket wrench on the Adjuster, carefully unlock the arm. Turn the Adjuster counterclockwise
(CCW) to increase counterbalance force, or clockwise (CW) to decrease counterbalance force. Counterbalance is
correctly adjusted when the mounted instrument can be moved up or down with minimal force and does not rise or fall
after releasing the Arm.

Adjusting Height of the Mounted Instrument
WARNING
• Do not attempt to adjust height without instrument being mounted on Arm.
• Use caution when disengaging the Height Locking Lever. The total mounted load may have changed
due to the addition or removal of equipment (other than primary instrument) while the Height Locking
Lever was engaged. A change in the total load can cause a sudden downward or upward movement of
the Arm when the Height Locking Lever is disengaged.
Height Adjustment
Grasp mounted instrument on sides (or handle) and move to desired height. When Arm is counterbalanced correctly it will
maintain position when adjusted to a new height. Note: Disengagement/re-engagement of the Height Locking Lever may
be necessary during vertical adjustment of mounted instrument (see WARNING above). Engagement of the Height
Locking Lever is not required during normal operation of the counterbalanced instrument.
Instrument Must Be Mounted
Use caution when disengaging the Height
Locking Lever. The mounted load may have
increased (addition of equipment) or
decreased (removal of equipment) while the
Height Locking Lever was engaged, causing
sudden downward or upward movement of
the Arm.

Cleaning the Mounting Assembly
1. The mounting assembly may be cleaned with most mild, non-abrasive solutions commonly used in the hospital
environment (e.g. diluted bleach, ammonia, or alcohol solutions).
2. The surface finish will be permanently damaged by strong chemicals and solvents such as acetone and
trichloroethylene.
3. Do not use steel wool or other abrasive material to clean the mounting assembly.
4. Damage caused by the use of unapproved substances or processes will not be covered by warranty. We recommend
testing of any cleaning solution on a small area of the mounting assembly that is not visible to verify compatibility.
