OPERATING THE BIG WHEEL®
WARNING
• Make sure that the brakes are completely released before attempting to move the unit. Attempting to move the unit
with the brakes engaged could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
• If your unit is equipped with the optional electric lift/litter, unplug the power cord from the power outlet before
transporting or cleaning the unit. To unplug, grasp the mold near the outlet and pull the cord in a direction parallel
to the floor (not at an angle).
When the brake/steer pedal (A) is in the neutral or brake position, the Big Wheel (B) is elevated approximately 3/4”
and the stretcher rests on the four casters as shown in Figure 12. See page 21 for pedal operations.
Note: The two Big Wheels (B) do not pivot. The stretcher cannot be moved directly sideways with the Big Wheel (B)
activated.
With the pedal (A) in the neutral position, the stretcher can be moved in any direction including sideways as shown
in Figure 12. See page 21 for pedal operations.
When the brake/steer pedal (A) is in the steer position, the foot end casters are elevated approximately 1/4” and the
stretcher rests on the two head end casters and the two Big Wheels (B) as shown in Figure 13. This provides increased
mobility and ease of steering the stretcher. See page 21 for pedal operations.
CAUTION
Do not engage the steer pedal when the Big Wheel is resting on a threshold or other raised area. The force required to
engage the Big Wheel will be higher than normal, possibly causing damage.
