Clamping your knee kit to a tabletop

To perform manual muscle simulations with your knee kit, it's easier to secure your kit to a surface like a tabletop. This will free up your hands to be able to attach and pull the manual muscle cords.

1. Start by setting the bracket along an edge or at a corner of your tabletop. The slot cutout of the bracket should be facing away from the edge of the table, as shown in the image below.
   
2. Next, usesecure the first clampbracket to securethe onetabletop sideusing the two clamps. Attach the clamps at opposite sides of the bracket to your tabletop, anglingkeep the clampbracket from twisting on the tabletop and angle them as much as possible to the side so asthey not todon't block the motion of the knee. If youyou're have shims orusing some othermaterial under-clampto material,protect holdthe thistable insurface, placeinsert under tabletopthese between the clamp and tabletop until the clamp is tightened.

3. Use the second clamp to secure the other side of the bracket, again angling the clamp as much to the side as possible and ensuring that any under-clamp material is between the clamp and tabletop.

4. Slide the superior cross section plate (the one attached to the femur) into the bracket, oriented so that the knee is hanging out over the side of the table (the foot of the cross section plate should slide into the corresponding slot on the bracket).
