Thigh section
Backrest
Auto-Chair
Tilt angle
When returning from a tilted position, the mattress platform will
pause at the level (no tilt) position.
These buttons raise and lower the thigh section.
When the thigh section is first raised from the flat position,
the calf section will be in the Fowler position (angled
downwards).
To change the calf section to the vascular (horizontal)
position, refer to the section Adjusting the calf position.
These buttons raise and lower the backrest.
The backrest will pause when it reaches an angle
approximately 30 above the horizontal.
The Auto-Chair up button simultaneously raises the
backrest and thigh sections, pausing when the backrest
reaches 45. Continue to hold the button down to lower
the foot end of the mattress platform into a chair position.
When the backrest and thigh sections are raised, pressing
the Auto-Chair up button again lowers the foot end of the
mattress platform into a chair position; if the backrest
angle is greater than 45, it will return to 45 to prevent the
patient from tipping forwards.
The Auto-Chair down button returns the mattress platform
to a flat and level position.
This button lowers the head end of the mattress platform
(Trendelenburg position).
This button lowers the foot end of the mattress platform
(reverse Trendelenburg position).
