tient is on the stretcher. Use proper lifting techniques and get additional assistance, if necessary. Failure
to use proper lifting techniques could cause injury to the operator.

Keep hands/fingers clear of the area around the Fowler release handle and the Fowler frame when lowering
the Fowler. Injury could result if care is not taken when lowering the Fowler.
CAUTION
If the pneumatic system appears to be difficult to operate, refer to your maintenance manual for a pneumatic
Fowler adjustment procedure.
