its lowest position in order to facilitate access to the pedal. To operate the system, place
the pedal in one of the following three positions:
DIRECTIONAL

wheel to move in a straight
line
and
remove
all
restrictions to the other
wheels.
Press on the
green
side of
the pedals.
NEUTRAL
To remove all restrictions
and allow the bed to move
in any direction:
Place the pedals
horizontally.
BRAKE
To apply the brake and
completely immobilise the
bed:
Press on the
red
side of the
pedals.
When the bed is heavily loaded, it is recommended to have two persons to move it.
WARNINGS ABOUT THE SYNCHRONISED BRAKE SYSTEM
▪
Always apply the brakes after moving the bed or when a patient is on the bed
since not doing so could cause
INJURIES
to the patient when he or she gets in
and out of bed.
▪
Always verify that the brakes are well locked after they are activated by trying to
move the device.
