OPERATING THE PNEUMATIC FOWLER - NON-ELECTRIC
To raise the fowler, squeeze either or both of the yellow fowler handles (A) for pneumatic assist until the fowler has
reached the desired angle (between 0 and 90 degrees) as shown in Figures 20 and 21.
To lower the fowler, squeeze either or both of the yellow fowler handles (A) and push down until the fowler has reached
the desired angle (between 90 and 0 degrees) as shown in Figures 20 and 21.
The drop seat/lift assist fowler uses the weight of the patient for additional assistance with raising the fowler. It also
helps keep the patient from sliding toward the foot end of the stretcher when the fowler is raised.
WARNING
• Operation of the fowler is a manual procedure. Use caution when raising the fowler while a patient 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.
