Backrest

Control Handle (2)
4.19 Backrest
The backrest adjusts between 0° and 76° to elevate the
patient's torso for patient comfort or medical necessity
(Figure 19).
The gas spring is under pressure to ease raising and lowering.
With a heavy patient, support the patient's weight before
adjusting the backrest. With a light patient, control the
upward movement of the backrest so it does not move too
quickly.

needed. See "Patient Restraints" on page 52.
