4.0 OPERATING THE CHAIR
Operation of all features and functions prior to usage is essential to ensure that chair was
not damaged in transit.
4.1 OPERATION OF STEERING/BRAKING
The steering lock function allows you to easily steer the chair in a straight line. Only the
left front caster has this function.
Move the chair about 12” to put caster in trailing position and step on the green side of the
pedal to lock the caster in steer mode. This action will keep the caster from swiveling and
allow better forward movement of the chair.
4.2 USING THE 4 - CASTER FREE FUNCTION
In the 4 - caster free mode, all four casters move independently, allowing the chair to
be easily brought alongside a bed. In this mode all four casters are unlocked.
WARNING
Do not use the 4 - caster free function when moving a patient across an incline. The
chair may roll down the incline and an injury may occur.
WARNING
Failure to engage the steering swivel lock while transporting patients could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
