of the rail (Figure 3-21) and pull on the red rail
handle (Figure 3-22). Allow the rail to hinge all
the way down until it locks into place in the
rail catch (Figure 3-23). To raise the rail, take
hold of the rail and lift it until the latching
mechanism locks into place. (Figure 3-21).

the chair, ensure the side rails are up
and the patient is secured with restraint
straps.

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
