10.7 Castor Control and Bed Transport
10.7.1 Bed with Castor Control Levers
The castor control levers are located on both sides of the foot end.
Fig. 12 Central braking system lever
The central braking system facilitates movement of the bed by a single person. The bed has a main lock control
lever for the four castors. The brakes are at the foot end of the undercarriage.
Castor control:
1. Forward Movement: The front left castor is locked. The bed moves straight ahead. If the bed is equipped with
a fifth castor, this castor determines the direction of movement.
2. Unrestricted Movement: All of the castors are unlocked.
3. Braked: All of the castors are locked.
To move the bed::
Adjust the bed height to at least 20cm below maximum height.
Push the bed using handles on head or foot end.
10.7.2 The Fifth Castor
The bed can be equipped with a 5
th
castor to make it easier to manoeuvre and control the bed. The standard
locking castor will automatically be excluded from the bed specification if the 5
th
castor is requested as this will
replace the need for this function. The control lever for the 5
th
castor is identical to the control lever for the
braking system. To activate the 5
th
castor, press the foot operated lever shown in Figure 12, position 1.
10.7.3 Brake Alarm – Signalization of Unbraked Bed
It is possible to equip Image 3 B with signalization of unbraked bed. The signalization of unbraked bed signalizes,
that bed is connected to the mains but is not braked. This status is signalized by acoustic signal. To shut down
acoustic signal brake the bed or unplug bed from the mains.
