Directional lock casters are indicated by a green sticker in
the locking lever. To lock the directional locking casters,
press the tab and align the caster with the frame. Once

Directional Locking Casters with Treadmill
Position LiteGait® near the treadmill (or where you
wish the patient to begin walking).
Roll LiteGait® towards the front of the treadmill, until
the casters line up parallel to the treadmill (or
parallel to the path the patient will follow—a
hallway for example).
Press the directional locks to lock swivel of casters
LiteGait® can now be easily rolled back and forth over
the treadmill or on a straight path in the therapy room or
hallway.
NOTE: While locking the caster prevents rolling of the unit, it
DOES NOT prevent the unit from sliding on a sloped, slippery
floor. The unit should only be used on a flat floor away from
stairs or ramps. NEVER leave a patient unattended in the
unit.
Total Locking Casters
Total locking casters are indicated by a red sticker on the
locking lever. To lock the total locking casters, press the
tab until the brake snaps into place. The caster will lock
the swivel of the caster and rotation of the wheel.
Locking all four casters will make the device stationary.
