FOOT ELEVATE (FOOT UP/DOWN)
The foot section angle can be changed by using the Foot Up/Down controls. To lock out a control, refer
to “Lockout Controls” on page 14.
The Foot Up control also operates the Leg Elevation feature (refer to “Lower Leg Elevation (Vascular
Position)” on page 17).
The Foot Up control also operates the Lower Leg Elevation.
To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Lowering the foot section may cause linens, drainage bags, and other equipment to
come in contact with the floor. Follow facility protocol if they touch the floor.
• Warning—Do not use ankle restraints when you activate this feature.
Caution—Before you activate the foot section controls, make sure the area around the foot section is
clear of equipment, or equipment damage may occur.
Lower Leg Elevation (Vascular Position)
The foot and lower leg section can be raised into a vascular position by using the Foot Up control. This
position is achieved by raising the legs in combination with Trendelenburg and head section
movement.
Lock out the head controls if you do not want the head angle to raise or Trendelenburg to operate. To
lock out a control, refer to
“Lockout Controls” on page 14.
To Activate Lower Leg Elevation
1. Press and hold the Foot Up control. The foot section will raise. Once the foot section is at maximum
elevation, the head of bed will raise approximately 15 degrees, then the bed will move into
Trendelenburg to raise the foot higher than the head.
2. Release the Foot Up control when the desired position is reached.

To lower—Press and hold the Foot Down control to lower the
foot section.
Foot Up
The foot section can be raised from 70 degrees below horizontal to flat.
