OPERATING THE PNEUMATIC FOWLER
Squeeze either or both of the yellow fowler handles (A) for pneumatic assist in lifting the fowler to the desired height as
shown in Figure 7 . Remove hand(s) from handle when the desired height is achieved .
The optional drop seat fowler uses the weight of the patient for additional assistance with lifting the fowler . It also helps
keep the patient from sliding toward the foot end of the stretcher when the fowler is raised .
WARNING
Keep hands/fingers clear of the area around the fowler release handles and the fowler frame when lowering . Injury could
result if care is not taken when lowering the fowler .
