Steering and Braking
You can steer both rear casters straight ahead when you move the C-Arm forward, or at any angle to move the C-Arm sideways.
You can feel a mechanical detent in the steering handle arc that identifies the 90° left, 90° right, and straight ahead steering
positions. The rear casters steer a maximum of 90 degrees left and right. There are also mechanical detents at 90 degrees left
and right handle positions.

Steering Handle
There is a brake pedal by each rear caster. Use either brake pedal to operate the friction brakes that immobilize both rear
casters to keep the generator from rolling. Each rear caster has an internal brake mechanism that applies a brake pad to the
caster to prevent it from turning. Tilt either pedal forward or backward to engage the brakes, or set either pedal to the level
position to release the brakes. Both brake pedals mount on a common shaft that applies braking pressure through a roller cam to
each rear caster. Refer to the Replacement chapter in this manual for information on how to install new brakes on the rear
casters.
