Operating The Optional Wheel Locks - Stryker Power-PRO IT Manual De Uso Y Mantenimiento

OPERATING THE OPTIONAL WHEEL LOCKS

To activate the optional wheel locks, press fully down on the pedal (A) as shown in Figure 31 until it stops and is
resting firmly against the surface of the wheel.
To release the optional wheel locks, depress the upper face of the pedal with your foot or lift up with your toe under
the pedal. The upper portion of the pedal will rest against the caster frame when the wheel lock is released.
WARNING
• Never apply the optional wheel locks while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved while a
wheel lock is applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
• Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is on the cot.
• Never install or use a wheel lock on a cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using a wheel lock on a wheel
with less than a 6" diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, possibly resulting in injury to the
patient or operator and/or damage to the cot or other equipment.
CAUTION
Wheel locks are only intended to help prevent the cot from rolling while unattended and to aid in patient transfer. A wheel
lock may not provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
