WARNING
• Operation of the pneumatic 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.
If the pneumatic fowler is difficult to operate, see the stretcher maintenance manual for "Pneumatic Fowler Adjustment".
