P3700A—The bed has two casters that have a braking feature. One of these
casters also has a steer feature. The brake/steer caster is located at the left-hand
foot end of the bed (as determined by lying in the bed on one's back). The
brake (only) caster is located at the right-hand head end of the bed. These two
casters may require adjustment after service, or because of normal wear. The
other two casters are basic swivel casters which require no adjustments.
P3700B/C/D—The foot-left caster is a brake/steer caster and the remaining
casters are brake casters.
Placing the brake/steer pedal in steer locks the left-hand foot end caster into a
position that is parallel to the bed (as described in chapter 1).
Removal
1. Set the brake/steer pedal to the brake position.
2. Using the ratchet and T25 Torx® head bit, remove the two screws (A)
securing the leg cover (B) over the caster (C) (see figure 4-41 on
page 4-81).
3. Remove the leg cover (B).
4. Using the 3/16" Allen ™ wrench, remove the caster mounting screw (E).
5. Place a jack under the base frame, and raise the base frame high enough to
remove the caster (C).
Ensure that the bed is stable before removing the caster. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or equipment damage.
6. Remove the caster (C) from the bed.
