Steering and Brakes
Always engage the brakes after the bed has been repositioned or is
unattended. Failure to set the brakes may cause injury.
All four castors are controlled by the brake/steer pedal at the foot end of the bed.
There are three positions of the lever:
•Brakes on
• Brakes off (neutral)—free-wheel castors
• Brakes off (steer)—swivel/steering lock of the castors at the head end
Apply the Brakes
Step on one of the red pedals at the foot end of the bed (see figure 1-8 on page
1-12). The two foot-end castors and one head-end castor will then be locked.
The castors will not swivel or turn.
Figure 1-8. Apply the Brakes
Release the Brakes
Press one of two pedals at the foot end of the bed until the pedal is in the
horizontal position (see figure 1-9 on page 1-13). All four castors will turn and
swivel freely.
