Brakes and
steering
There are four linked brake levers, two at either end of the
bed. Each lever has a red pedal and a green pedal.
Red pedal down - brakes are applied on all four castors.
Lever horizontal - all four castors can rotate and swivel.
Green pedal down – the steering castor is locked so that it
cannot swivel; this is the head end castor on the patient’s
right unless otherwise specified.
When moving the bed, push it in the direction of travel so
that the castors are all in line; then press the green pedal
down to engage the steering castor. Push the bed from the
opposite end to where the steering castor is located.
