WARNING: Ensure siderails are up during patient transportation.
WARNING: The castor pedal must be in the brake position when the
patient is either:
1. Unattended.
2. Getting on or off the stretcher.
WARNING: Disconnect the power cord before manoeuvring the stretcher.
Castor pedals are located at the foot end of the bogie which are colour coded
red and green for easy identification.
The castor pedals are foot-operated and can occupy three positions:
1. Brake position
•
Push the red pedal down.
•
All four castors are locked.
2. Neutral position
•
Adjust pedals to horizontal position.
•
All four castors are free to swivel and roll. The stretcher can be manoeuvred
in any direction.
3. Steer position
CAUTION: Ensure the steer castor trails the direction of stretcher
movement.
NOTE:
The steer castor is located at the head end.
NOTE:
The stretcher is best manoeuvred from the foot end.
1. Adjust the pedal into the neutral position.
2. Push the stretcher a short distance in the intended direction of travel.
3. Push the green pedal down.
4. Continue to push the stretcher. An audible 'click' will be heard when
the steer castor locks into position.
