■
The stretcher height can be adjusted by operating the pedals.
●
Make sure the casters are locked whenever the stretcher height operation is performed. There
is a risk of injury to the patient if the stretcher moves during the stretcher height operation.

Depress the Height up pedal repeatedly.
[Lowering the stretcher height]
●
Depress the both of Head down pedal
and Foot down pedal.
Or depress the Height down pedal.
●
Be careful not to be caught between the
floor and the pedal because when operating
Up pedal, the opposite pedal is lowered too.
There is a risk of injury.
