ADJUSTING THE WHEEL LOCKING FORCE
MINIMUM
1. To adjust the wheel locking force, remove the hex socket screw from the center of the lock pedal. The
wheel lock is initially assembled with the pedal set at the minimum locking force. The marker on the pedal
(item A) is aligned with the marker on the octagonal sleeve (item B).
2. Remove the sleeve (B). Rotate the sleeve counterclockwise to increase the pedal locking force and
clockwise to decrease the locking force. Insert the sleeve into the pedal. Reinstall the hex socket screw.
3. Test the pedal locking force and verify it holds properly before returning the cot to service.
