Using the Features
4.4 Swivel-Lock Release Lever
●
Purposee: 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
transporter into an ambulance.
○ When unlocked, the caster wheels can roll and swivel 360º,
allowing the transporter to be maneuvered easily when space
is limited.
●
Locatione:
Transporter loading end (Figure 4)
●
Usee:
○
To unlock the casters for swiveling, the Loading-end Operator
pulls and holds the blue swivel-lock release lever (Figure 4). The
operator must continue holding the lever as long as the swivel
function is needed.
○
To lock the caster wheels, release the lever. Roll the transporter
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 5).
GUIDELINES FOR USE
●
The transporter 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 transporter is
in the highest rolling position (Bed Position 6).
●
Lock the casters before loading the transporter into an ambulance
so the wheels will not swivel and interfere with loading or
unloading.
●
Lock the casters
before
lowering the transporter. At a lower
position, shifting weight on the transporter can cause an unlocked
loading-end caster to swivel suddenly.
●
The swivel caster lock pins are not designed to be lubricated. See
“Lubricating the Transporter” on page 26. Use warm water and a
mild detergent to clean the lock pins when needed.

WARNING
Releasing the swivel locks increases the possibility for the
transporter to tip. Maintain control of the transporter at
all times.
Swivel Locks
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.
