steering castor
The steering castor may be at either end of the bed, as
specified by the customer.
746-577-UK-6
The brake pedals at the foot end of the bed have three
positions as shown:
• BRAKE: brakes are applied on all four castors.
• FREE: all four castors are free to rotate and swivel.
• STEER: all four castors can rotate, but the steering
castor (see below) is locked so that it cannot swivel.
This helps to keep the bed on a straight line.
FREE
Position the bed so that all the castors line up in the
direction of travel. Raise the pedals to lock the steering
castor and move the bed by pushing it from the opposite
end.
