resistance on all surfaces or under loads.

Applying or releasing the caster Steer-Lock

The Steer-Lock feature applies the head end casters to improve steering control, when needed. You can release the
Steer-Lock to allow for free swiveling for greater mobility.
WARNING
• Always lock the caster Steer-Lock knob and casters when you load or unload the cot from a vehicle or loading tray
system to avoid the risk of the product tipping.
• Always lock the caster Steer-Lock knob and casters when you change the cot height to avoid the risk of the product
tipping.
CAUTION
Do not apply the Steer-Lock and attempt to push the product sideways.
Notes
• You can apply or release the caster Steer-Lock from either side of the base frame.
• Always release the caster Steer-Lock when you load the product into the cot fastener. This allows the head end
casters to swivel freely so that the head end of the cot aligns with the fastener.
To apply the Steer-Lock, rotate the red locking knob into the locked position. Push the cot forward so the head end
casters swivel and lock into position.
To release the Steer-Lock, rotate the red locking knob into the unlocked position. Push the cot in any direction. Make
sure that the casters swivel freely.
