HEIGHT ROD INSTRUCTIONS, CONT.
Height Rod Operating Guide
1. Before patient steps onto scale
platform, spoon (B) should be rotated
to horizontal position, and raised well
above patient's apparent height.
2. Patient may now step onto scale
platform. Spoon (B) should be held
horizontal and above patient's head.
3. Carefully lower spoon (B), keeping it
horizontal, until it rests gently on top of
patient's head. If patient is shorter
than 3' 4" (101.5 cm), push latch (A) to
right while simultaneously pushing
down on spoon (B), until the spoon (B)
rests horizontally on top of patient's
head.
4. Read height of patient as follows:
 If back of spoon points to outer
height rod, then it points to correct
height.
 If back of spoon points to inner
height rod, then correct height is
read at top of outer height rod
(see "Read" arrow on outer height rod).
5. While holding spoon (B) horizontally, raise spoon (B) above patient's head. Patient may
now step off scale platform. Hold spoon (B) horizontal until patient is clear of height rod.
6. Rotate spoon (B) back to vertical position and adjust height rod back to rest position (i.e.
spoon (B) should be locked in place within inner height rod (C) and inner rod should be
at its lowest position).
