Warning—To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—Do not transport a patient with the bed in a Dining Chair position.
• Warning—Do not use ankle restraints when using this feature.
• Warning—Observe lines, drainage bags, and linens closely during chair positioning.
The Dining Chair feature allows the patient to be placed in a customized semi-seated position.

• Warning—Do not transport a patient with the bed in a chair position.

slightly deflate.) When the Chair control is released, the seat
section will re-inflate to normal pressures for beds equipped

Chair control. If desired, use the Head, Knee, Foot, or Foot
Retract controls to make custom Dining Chair position
adjustments.
