8.4 Mounting new veins and artery
The new tubes are marked with numbers to simplify mounting. Remove the marking
strip before mounting. fig. 28 shows the position of the individual tube numbers.
The tube ends which are inserted in the hand are sealed with silicone rubber and a
ball. Insert the tube end in the opening in the hand (fig. 29). Press the tube into the
groove of the arm and pull it through the opening at the elbow joint so that tube
No. 1 (fig. 28) is connected to the tube connector marked No. 1, tube No. 2 to
connector No. 2 and so forth (fig. 30).
Before connecting the tubes to the tube connectors, cut the tubes approx. 2 cm (3/4
inch) from the holes without stretching them.
Apply alcohol to the tubes to ease the mounting.
