When quick access to the patient is needed and the Fowler, Gatch, or Foot end are raised, the bed can be positioned
at 0° by pressing on the CPR pedal . The Fowler, Gatch and Foot end will automatically flatten .
WARNING
The CPR pedal is for emergency use only . When activating the CPR pedal, all people and equipment must be removed
from the area below and around the head, thigh and foot sections of the bed or serious personal injury or equipment
damage could occur .

Lowering the Fowler During a Power Failure

If there is a power failure and the backup battery is out, the CPR pedal can be used to partially or completely lower the
Fowler . Simply depress the CPR pedal until the desired angle is reached .

FOLEY BAG HOOKS

The four Foley bag hooks are located on both sides of the bed frame under the foot and seat sections . Two are
centered and isolated .
