REMOVING AND REINSTALLING THE MATTRESS

When removing the mattress, it is important to start at the head end of the Stretcher Chair. Pull on the head
end of the mattress to release it from the Velcro on the Fowler and midsection. Once it is free of the Velcro,
pull the mattress toward the head end of the Stretcher Chair to disengage the mattress from the foot section
sliding tabs. (The tabs keep the foot section of the mattress close to the litter surface during articulation.)
To reinstall the mattress, slide the pockets on the foot end back over the sliding tabs. Place the mattress down
the length of the litter surface and press firmly on the Fowler and midsection to secure the Velcro strips.
