Adjustment Procedure:
1. Apply the stretcher brakes.
2. Loosen the two Phillips head screws on the handle linkage. Release the handle tension spring on the
patient’s left side.
3. Adjust the handles so there is a 3/4” gap between the inner Fowler frame and the handle.
4. Tighten the two screws on the handle linkage bar and reattach the spring.
5. It may be necessary to adjust the pneumatic cylinders (see page 4–3).
6. Verify proper Fowler operation before returning the stretcher to service.
