moving. Injury could result if the product moves while a patient is getting on the product or off the product.
• Always place, remove, or transfer the patient from the center (seat) section of the product unless the product is in
the full chair position. Product instability or tip may occur.
• Always put the product in the chair position with the siderails up and latched when you leave a patient unattended
on the product. Do not leave the product in the horizontal (flat) position to avoid a patient fall.
• Do not sit on either end of the product. The product may tip.
• Always keep the product in the chair position when not in use.
• Always lock the siderails in the full up position when you transport a patient.
• Do not allow the siderails to lower on their own.
• Always keep the patient’s limbs away from the siderail spindles when you lower the siderail.
• Always keep hands and fingers clear of the Fowler backrest release handles and the Fowler backrest frame when
you lower the Fowler backrest.
• Always use caution when you raise a pneumatic Fowler backrest while a patient is on the product. Use proper lifting
techniques and get assistance, if necessary.
• Hold the foot rest firmly while repositioning it to prevent it from falling to the lowest position and causing injury or
equipment damage.
• Do not stand on the footrest. Tipping may occur which could result in patient or use injury.
• Always support the patient’s head when you position the headpiece or the Fowler backrest. Patient injury may occur.
• Do not reach between the side of the head extension and the articulating headpiece to pull the release handles.
Operator injury may occur.
• Always keep fingers away from jointed areas when you adjust the headpiece. Operator injury may occur.
