5.2 BRAKING AND STEERING THE C-ARM STAND
5.2.1 STEERING & BRAKING
The C-arm stand has a combined steering & braking lever. It is located lever at the rear of the C-
arm stand. See fig 5.1 & 5.2.
5.2.1.1. PARKING BRAKE
The C-arm stand parking brake operates as follows: −Steering & braking lever lowered: Rear
wheels are locked −Steering & braking lever raised: Rear wheels can move freely.
5.2.1.2. STEERING
To steer the C-arm stand, do the following:
• Lift the steering & braking lever and turn it until reaching the desired position. The lever
can be turned freely; however, detents are placed at 90° increments. The rear wheels will
always stay parallel to one another aligned exactly in parallel with the steering & braking
lever.
- To maneuver the C-arm stand freely, ensure that the steering & braking lever has
engaged in its central position, pointing directly backwards from the unit See Fig 5.3.
- To move the C-arm stand in an exactly-defined direction, rotate the steering &
braking lever until it points towards the desired direction Fig. 5.3 Push the C-arm
stand in the desired or predefined direction using the lateral handles, or use the hand
rail around the image intensifier to pull the C-arm stand.
CAUTION
Release the parking brake only to move or position the C-arm.
Operate moveable assemblies and parts with caution.
Exercise extreme caution when releasing mechanical locks or brakes. To prevent
un-wanted movement of the mechanical c-arm assembly, always maintain control
by holding on to and then slowly releasing the mechanical locks before moving any
of the mechanical components of the ZIEHM QUANTUM mobile C-Arm. Failure
to observe this warning may result in serious injury to patient or operator.
