Head Section Articulation
WARNING:
Surface positions that cause the patient’s torso to be at an angle less than 90° to the legs could
reduce circulatory efficiency in the lower extremities. Such positions are not recommended for extended
periods of time and should be under medical supervision. Patient injury could occur.
WARNING:
Make sure to fully control the lift mechanism when there is little or no weight on it. Failure to do
so could cause it to rise quickly and cause injury or equipment damage.
