OPERATING THE OPTIONAL INDEPENDENT FOOT SECTION

A

Dependent (Chair Mode) Operation

During dependent (Chair Mode) operation, the foot section will articulate with the Fowler when going from
the sitting to the supine position. In order for the foot section to be in Chair Mode, the red handle (A), located
on both sides of the foot section, must be pointing toward the head end of the Stretcher Chair.

Independent Operation

When the foot section is in the Independent Mode, it can articulate to any position independent of the Fowler.
To operate the foot section in the Independent Mode, rotate the red handle (A) so it is pointing toward the foot
end of the Stretcher Chair, as shown in the illustration above. The foot section is now locked into position,
independent of the Fowler. To reposition the foot section, hold the foot end securely, pull the red handle (A)
toward you and hold it in that position. Lift or lower the foot section to the desired position and release the
red handle to lock it in place.

Resetting the Foot Section (Returning to Chair Mode)

CAUTION
The foot section will release during the return to dependent operation (Chair Mode). Hold the end securely
and support it when repositioning.
While supporting the foot section, rotate the red handle (A) on the foot section so it is pointing toward the head
end of the Stretcher Chair. Lift or lower the foot section until it locks in place. Raise or lower the Fowler and
assure the foot section moves with it.
