result if the product moves while a patient is getting on or off the product.
• Always place, remove, or transfer the patient from the center (seat) section of the product unless the product is in the full
chair position. Product instability or tip may occur.
• Always put the product in the chair position with the siderails up and latched when you leave a patient unattended on the
product. Do not leave the product in the horizontal (flat) position to avoid a patient fall.
• Do not sit on either end of the product. The product may tip.
• Always keep the product in the chair position when not in use.
• Always lock the siderails in the full up position when you transport a patient.
• Do not allow the siderails to lower on their own.
• Always keep patient and operator extremities away from siderail spindles when you raise or lower the siderails.
• Always keep hands and fingers clear of the Fowler backrest release handles and the Fowler backrest frame when you
lower the Fowler backrest.
• Always use caution when you raise a Fowler backrest while a patient is on the product. Use proper lifting techniques and
get assistance, if necessary.
• Always hold the footrest while repositioning to make sure that it does not fall to the lowest position. Patient or operator
injury or device damage may occur.

secured, may result in serious harm to patients and operators, including entanglement, entrapment, physical injury, or
death.
• Always attach restraint straps or devices only at the identified attachment points of the product. Failure to do so may
result in patient or operator injury. Do not attach restraint straps to the siderail.
• Always refer to the applicable state and federal restrictions and regulations and the appropriate facility protocols before
you use any restraint strap or device.
