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).
