The X-ray cassette holder attaches to the Fowler backrest weldment to support X-ray cassettes. You can take X-rays while
a patient is on the product. You can also adjust the cassette's position before you take an X-ray.

1. Apply the brakes. Push on the product to make sure that the brakes are working.
2. Raise the Fowler backrest section to full height.
3. Insert the lower retainer guides (A) under the Fowler backrest weldment bar (Figure 27).
4. Raise the cassette holder until the retainer guides latch onto the Fowler backrest weldment. Make sure that the cassette
holder is secure.
5. Insert an X-ray cassette from either side of the cassette holder or pull the slider release arrow (B) to release the cassette
holder from the Fowler, position the cassette, and secure the cassette holder in the Fowler backrest weldment.
6. To adjust the height of the cassette, loosen the knob (E) and move the cassette support rail (D) up or down until you
reach the desired height.
7. Tighten the knob (E) to secure the cassette support rail in place.
8. When the X-ray process is complete, pull up on the slider release arrow (B) to release the cassette holder from the
Fowler backrest weldment.
