Stretcher Operation

APPLYING THE BRAKE SYSTEM

NOTE

For user convenience, the brake/steer pedal is located on both ends of the stretcher.

WARNING

Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Push on the stretcher to en-

sure the brakes are securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the stretcher is being moved. Injury

could result if the stretcher moves while a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. If brakes do not hold proper-

ly, refer to your stretcher maintenance manual for a brake adjustment procedure.

To engage the brakes on the head end, push fully down on the left side of pedal (E) (see

page 5

To engage the brakes on the foot end, push fully down on the right side of pedal (D) (see

page 5

NOTE

Your stretcher may be equipped with optional side control brake and steer functions in addition to the standard

head and foot end controls. The side control brakes operate the same as the head and foot end versions.

They are indicated by a label on each side of the stretcher base.
