1. 1. Attach swingaway lateral bracket(s) (Fig. 1, D) to S.O.F.T. base plate assembly (Fig. 1,
C) using bolts (Fig. 1, A) and washers (Fig. 1, B). Tighten bolts securely.
2. Refer to Fig. 2. Loosen bolts (Fig. 2, A) and clamp splitball (Fig. 2, B) between the
lateral mount collar halves (Fig. 2, C) and tighten. Do not securely tighten collar halves
until fit-ting to client to allow for adjustment of ballrod.
3. Slide collar cover (Fig. 2, D) off pad collar onto curved ballrod (Fig. 2, E).
4. Loosen collar bolts (Fig. 2, F). Loosening the collar bolts just to the point where the ball
slides in is easier than taking the collar halves completely apart.
5. Clamp collar halves (Fig. 2, G) evenly on ball. See page 15.
6. To attach lateral ballrod and pad. See page 19, steps 5-9.
