Always use the handle at the front of the cart to move the system from one loca-
tion to another.
➤ To move the system
1. Unlock the wheel brakes (press the gray levers) before moving the system.
2. Lock the rotation of the system control panel so that it cannot pivot during
transportation.
3. Press the green lever down on each front wheel to ease straight-line travel.
4. Push with the handle at the front of the cart.
5. After the system is in position, press the red (brake) lever on each wheel to
immobilize it.

Follow these guidelines to transport the system in a vehicle:
•Before transporting the system in a vehicle, remove the transducers from the
holders. To protect the transducers, put them in a packing box.
• Lock the monitor arm and protect the monitor with padding during transpor-
tation. See “Locking and Unlocking the Monitor Arm” on page 81.
• Transport the system in the upright position. Never transport the system on
its back or side.
• The strap used to secure the system in a vehicle should not be located across
any of the system’s plastic side panels. Secure the strap so that it is located as
low as possible across the lift column.
• Be sure that the transporting vehicle can handle the weight and volume of the
system or systems plus the passengers.
• Be sure the load capacity of the loading lift can accommodate the weight of
the ultrasound system. Philips recommends a minimum capacity of 227 kg
(500 lb).
