OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS STEP 4 Projecting Rapidly rotate the control crank handle in the EXPOSE direction (counter-clockwise) to move the source assembly out of the exposure device to the radiographic focal position. The control crank handle will stop turning when the source reaches the source stop. Do not use excessive force. The odometer (if fitted) will indicate the approximate total distance traveled, 7ft (2.1m) for each guide tube section. Set the brake to ON to prevent movement of the sourc
