The chair rail has two positions, up and down.
Both positions lock the rail into place. To lower

rail (Figure 3-16) and pull on the red rail handle
(Figure 3-17). Allow the rail to hinge all the way
down until it locks into place in the rail catch
(Figure 3-18). To raise the rail, take hold of the
rail and lift it until the latching mechanism locks
into place. (Figure 3-16).
WARNING:
When patient is seated in the
chair, ensure the side rails are up and the
patient is secured with restraint straps.
WARNING:
Rail release handle will not
release unless force is applied laterally to
outside top of rail.

The chair has a warning label
located on both side rails indicating a pinch
point between seat section and side rail.
