OPERATING THE WHEEL LOCK(S)
The Power-PRO TL includes corner to corner wheel locks as a standard feature, with an option to specify locks for all
four wheels.
To secure the wheel lock(s) , press down on the base of the locking pedal (A) until it rests firmly against the surface
of the wheel as shown in Figure 26.
To release the wheel lock(s) , press 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 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.
• 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 in 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.
CAUTION
Wheel lock(s) are only intended to help prevent the cot from rolling while unattended and to aid in patient transfer. A
wheel lock may not provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
