WARNING
Operate the brake pedals with your feet while wearing suitable
shoes. Do not operate the pedals with your hands.
Brakes and
steering
The pedals have three positions as shown below:
•
BRAKE
: brakes are applied on all four castors.
•
FREE:
all four castors are free to rotate and swivel.
•
STEER
: all four castors can rotate, but the steering
castor (see below) is locked so that it cannot swivel.
This helps to keep the bed on a straight line.
