position. There are no intermediary positions for this section.
3. For a higher IV pole, pull up on the second telescoping portion (B). Release the section (B) at any desired height
and it will lock into place. To lower the section, push up on the red part of the handle while holding the section and
lower the section to the desired height. Release the red part of the handle to lock the section into place.
4. Rotate the IV hangers (C) to the desired position and hang the IV bags.
