Wheel Lock
1. To activate the optional wheel lock(s), press fully down on the pedal (A) until it stops.
2. To release the optional wheel lock(s), depress the upper face of the pedal with your foot or lift up with your
toe under the pedal. The upper portion of the pedal will rest against the caster frame when the wheel
lock is released.
WARNING
Never apply the optional wheel lock(s) while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved
while a wheel lock is applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
Wheel lock(s) are only intended to help prevent the cot from rolling while unattended. A wheel lock may not
provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is
on the cot.
Never install or use a wheel lock on a cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using a wheel lock on
a wheel with less than a 6” diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, possibly resulting
in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot or other equipment.
