3.6 HYDRAULIC MODEL: INDEPENDENT FOOT SECTION OPERATION
3.6.1 Independent Operation
To adjust the foot section separately from
the back section, support the foot section
with one hand, pull out the release lever, then
turn it clockwise (Figure 3-17). Adjust the foot
section to the desired position and release the
lever.
3.6.2 Return to Chair Mode
To return the foot section to chair mode,
support the foot section with one hand, turn
the release lever counterclockwise and push
the release lever in (Figure 3-18). Adjust the
foot section until it locks into position.
3.7 ADJUSTABLE FOOTREST
3.7.1 Repositioning the Footrest
The footrest has three positions: retracted,
lower, and upper. With the pan in the retracted
position, pull out on the handles on either side
of the pan (Figure 3-19). The footrest will drop
into the lower position.
To place the footrest into the upper position,
grasp the handles on both sides of the pan.
Tilt the pan up while lifting (Figure 3-19). Once
the pan is in the fully up position, tilt the
pan out until it locks into the upper position
(Figure 3-20).
To return the footrest to the retracted
position, tilt the pan up while letting it slide
down (Figure 3-19) into the lower standard
position. Continue tilting the footrest until it is
in the retracted position.
WARNING: TIPPING HAZARD — Do not
stand on footrest — tipping may occur.

3.8 HINGING RAILS
3.8.1 Repositioning the Rail
The chair rail has two positions, up and down.
Both positions lock the rail into place. To
lower the rail, apply a lateral force to the top
of the rail (Figure 3-21) and pull on the red rail
handle (Figure 3-22). Allow the rail to hinge all
the way down until it locks into place in the
rail catch (Figure 3-23). To raise the rail, take
hold of the rail and lift it until the latching
mechanism locks into place. (Figure 3-21).
WARNING: When patient is seated in
the chair, ensure the side rails are up
and the patient is secured with restraint
straps.
WARNING: Rail release handle will not
release unless force is applied laterally to
outside top of rail.
WARNING: The chair has a warning
label located on both side rails indicating
a pinch point between seat section and
side rail.

3.9 ESCEYE / ESDEYE HEADREST
3.9.1 Pre-op / Post-op Head Extension
To remove the head extension, rotate the
knobs on the two ends of the extension
counterclockwise (Figure 3-24). With knobs
loose, pull out on the extension. To install
the extension, slide the extension over the
surgical mounting bars using the guides on
the extension. Slide the extension fully down
the surgical side bars, then tighten the knobs
on the end of the extension.
sNOTICE: Ensure the head extension is
secure before applying any pressure.
3.9.2 Adjusting the Headrest
Remove the head extension as explained in
3.8.1. Grasp the right ball style knob (Figure
3-25), and rotate it counterclockwise to
articulate the head section upward (Figure
3-26); rotate the knob clockwise to articulate
the head section downward (Figure 3-27).
Once the upward articulation has been set,
grasp the left ball style knob (Figure 3-28), and
rotate the knob counterclockwise to adjust
the height of the headrest (Figure 3-29).
Info: After understanding which knob creates
which action, quick and smooth adjustment
can be achieved by rotating the knobs
simultaneously (Figure 3-30).

3.10 COMMON OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
3.10.1 Mounting the Wrist Rest
Insert the wrist rest into one of the
appropriate three square sockets under the
headrest (Figure 3-31). Rotate the T-knob
on the back of the wrist rest (Figure 3-32)
clockwise to lock it into place.
sNOTICE: Ensure the wrist rest is secure
before applying any pressure.
3.10.2 Adjusting the Wrist Rest
Once the wrist has been properly installed per
3.9.1, the height can be adjusted as needed.
Support the wrist rest and loosen the black
knob on the side of the support post (Figure
3-33).
Position the wrist rest to the desired height
and rotation. Tighten the black knob located
on the side of the support post (Figure 3-33).
sNOTICE: Ensure the wrist rest is secure
before applying any pressure.
3.10.3 Installing #18 IV Rod
Remove the IV Rod from the clips located
on the base (Figure 3-34). Insert IV Rod into
preferred socket (Figure 3-35). Place IV Rod
back into storage clips when not in use (Figure
3-34).
3.10.4 Installing the Side Tray
Insert pin end of Side Tray assembly into
preferred socket on the seat section. Align
hole in pin with hole in seat section socket and
insert locking pin to prevent movement of tray
(Figure 3-36).

3.10.5 Using Restraint Straps
Locate both ends of the restraint strap, on
either side of the chair. One will have a square
loop on the end, and the other will have hook
and loop fasteners (Figure 3-37). Slide the end
of the strap with the hook and loop fasteners
through the loop on the other strap (Figure
3-38). Pull out on the strap until the patient is
secure. Fold the hook and loop fastener end of
the strap back until it makes contact with the
mating hook and loop fastener on the strap
(Figure 3-39).
3.10.6 Installing the Patient Tray
Using the push buttons underneath the tray,
lock the legs 90° to the tray prior to installing
(Figure 3-40). Check to make sure that the legs
are located in the same hole (Figure 3-41).
Insert the rst leg into preferred socket on one
side of the patient, and insert second leg into
corresponding socket on other side (Figure
3-42). Adjust as necessary to best t patient.
