3. Insert the support rods (which are now
connected to the Halo ring) into the receptacles
of the compression balls for the Halo support
bracket. Finger tighten the locking ring nuts of
the support bracket by turning clockwise.
(Figure 4).

4. With the four locking ring nuts finger-tightened
only, movement of the support rod ball joints
will allow precise positioning of the Halo ring
over the operative site. The height of the ring
over the field may be changed by loosening the
locking ring nuts on the support brackets to
allow the support rods to slide freely. (Figure 5).

5. When correct positioning of the Halo ring is
achieved, tighten all four locking ring nuts
securely with the wrench. Tighten the locking
ring nuts of the support brackets first, then
tighten those on the halo ring brackets.
(Figure 6).
6. Adjust the built-in handrest segment of the
Halo ring to the desired angle to maximize
the operative field by turning the halo hinge
thumbscrews counter-clockwise, then tighten
the thumbscrews clockwise to secure the
handrest. (Figure 7). The Halo ring can be
folded back upon itself to create a second layer
of retraction or open up the front half of the
operative field for even greater exposure to the
operative site (Figure 8).
