Switch
3. Brakes
There is a brake for each central wheel. To apply the brakes, press down with your foot on
the red marked surface of each pedal. Press down firmly until the brake pedal engages and
holds in position. To release the brakes, press down on the green marked surface of each pedal,
ensuring the wheels rotate freely.
4. Standing Function
It is good practice and recommended to test a patient's standing ability prior to fully deploying
the device for a transfer, especially where there is any element of doubt.
5. Training Function
The Switch can also be used as a training aid for standing, sitting and sit-to-stand functions.
A caregiver may wish to assess the patient at regular intervals in order to evaluate their progress.
