Backrest
The backrest is operated by the handle
located under the backrest board on the
head end of the trolley, which is indicated
via the head and foot stickers at either end
of the trolley. The backrest movement is
from 0 to 65 degrees, this is controlled by a
gas spring.
To adjust the backrest, pull up on the
red

position (Figure 1). Let go of the lever to
lock it into that position.

we strongly advise this is done by two members of staff, one to support the patient and
one to adjust the backrest.
