5.3 Swivel-Lock Release Lever
●
Purposee: The lever unlocks and allows the loading-end caster
wheels to swivel 360º.
○
By default, the casters are locked. The caster wheels can roll but
cannot swivel. The casters must be locked before loading the
cot into an ambulance.
○ When unlocked, the caster wheels can roll and swivel 360º,
allowing the cot to be maneuvered easily when space is limited.
●
Usee:
○ To unlock the casters for swiveling, the Loading-end Operator
pulls and holds the blue swivel-lock release lever (Figure 9). The
operator must continue holding the lever as long as the swivel
function is needed.
○
To lock the casters, let go of the lever and roll the cot toward
the loading end until the wheels rotate and lock. This allows
the pin inside the trailing end of the caster to engage the lock
(Figure 10).
GUIDELINES FOR USE
●
The cot is more stable when the casters are locked and is more
maneuverable when the casters can swivel.
●
The swivel-lock release lever functions only when the cot is in the
highest rolling position (Bed Position 6).
●
Lock the casters before loading the cot into an ambulance so the
wheels will not swivel and interfere with loading or unloading.
●
Lock the casters before lowering the cot. At a lower position,
shifting weight on the cot can cause an unlocked loading-end
caster to swivel suddenly.
●
To maintain proper function of the swivel caster lock pins, clean
as needed with water and a mild detergent. If this is insufficient,
lubricate the lock pins. See “Lubricating the Cot” on page 32.

WARNING
Releasing the swivel locks increases the possibility for the
cot to tip. Maintain control of the cot at all times.
Important
The loading-end caster wheels lock only when the swivel
lock release lever is released and the trailing end of each
caster orients with the lock pin.
