Do not use the foot supports as push/pull handles or damage could result.
Do not transport the stretcher with the foot section in the lowered position. Injury to the patient or user or damage
to the stretcher could result. Do not place large items in the base storage tray. Interference with the foot supports
could occur and damage could result.
Do not sit on the breakaway foot section or injury could result.
Ensure no one’s feet are under the lowered foot section when lowering the stretcher or placing it into reverse
Trendelenburg or injury could result.
Use caution when lowering the stretcher or placing it into reverse Trendelenburg when the foot section is in the
lowered position or damage to the stretcher could occur.
Ensure there is no interference with the foot supports when the foot section is lowered or damage could result.
Failure to verify the foot section is securely engaged prior to use could result in injury to the patient or user.
Use caution when lowering the foot section. Injury to the patient or user could result.
Do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.

RAIDING AND LOWERING LITTER HEIGHT - SIDE CONTROL/UNI-LOWER PEDAL
CAUTION
Be sure to move any equipment that may be in the way before raising or lowering the litter height.

(see illustration under Operating Base Controls section).
For Reverse Trendelenburg positioning (foot down), depress the side of pedal (B) closest to the foot end.
NOTE
The higher the litter is before pedal (B) is activated, the greater the trend. or reverse trend. angle will be. (Maximum
