Brakes and Steering
Central Operation
There are two coupled brake pedals at the foot of the bed. When they are pushed down
from the horizontal free position they operate all brake castors simultaneously.
When the linked pedals are raised from the horizontal free position they engage one head-
end castor so that it cannot swivel. Push the bed in the direction of travel so that the castors
are all in-line and trailing, then lift either pedal to engage the steering castor.
For easy access of brake/steer pedals it is imperative to apply brakes before lowering the
bed to its extreme low position, and raising the bed before attempting to release the brakes
or engaging track lock (steer) so that the bed can be moved.
WARNING
Brakes should be activated at all times whilst bed is stationary.
Track lock will self-disengage when fully lowered.
