USING THE LABOR GRIPS

To position the labor grips, grasp the handle and pull the grip out and up above the mattress until the mecha-
nism locks into position. To lower the grips, pull the lever to release the grip and, as it begins to rotate, release
the lever and lower the grip to the stored position.
USING THE OPTIONAL LABOR BAR
To use the labor bar, insert it into the sockets located on each side of the litter at the pivot point for the foot
pans. The labor bar can be used by the patient to aid with various birthing positions such as squatting or kneel-
ing. The optional Stryker labor bar is rated to support 250 pounds.

Use the one−touch lumbar and seat buttons on the siderail to adjust the amount of support given to the
patient's lumbar and seat areas if the bed is equipped with this option.
