APPLYING THE BRAKE SYSTEM

For user convenience, a brake/steer control pedal is located on both ends of the stretcher as shown in Figure 1.
WARNING
Always apply the brakes when a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Push on the stretcher to ensure that the brakes
are securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the stretcher is being moved. Injury could result if the stretcher
moves while a patient is getting on or off the stretcher.
To engage the brakes on the foot end, push down on the brake (red) side of pedal (A).
To engage the brakes on the head end, push down on the brake (red) side of pedal (B).
To release the brakes on the foot end, push down on the steer (green) side of pedal (A).
To release the brakes on the head end, push down on the steer (green) side of pedal (B).
Note: Your stretcher may be equipped with optional side control brake and steer functions (C) in addition to the
standard head end (A) and foot end (B) controls. The side control brakes operate the same as the head end and foot
end brakes.
