4.5 Stretcher Slam Latches

4.7 Transport Wheels
Two versions of the 6-inch (152 mm) transport wheel are available: an
open tri-spoke wheel, and a solid conductive wheel (Figure 8).
If the transporter is equipped with solid wheels, two of the four transport
wheels (one at each end of the transporter) are conductive, allowing
static electricity to dissipate and ground the cot. Each conductive wheel
is marked with a small yellow spot on the side of the wheel. Transporter
wheels with spokes do not have this feature.
The function of the wheel versions is identical, other than the
conductivity feature. To order a set of conductive wheels, contact
Ferno or your Ferno distributor. See “Parts, Service, and Accessories”
