WHEEL BRAKES (N)
The foot-end wheel brakes help keep the stretcher from moving
during patient transfer and certain medical procedures. Wheel
brakes are on the foot-end (control-end) transport wheels (Figure
14). To engage the lock, press the lever down. To unlock, press the
top of the lever (or lift the lever from below)
DIRECTIONAL WHEEL LOCKS (O)
• Directional wheel locks (Figure 15), (O) allow the operators to
lock the direction of both head-end (loading-end) transport
wheels in line with the length of the stretcher.
• To lock, press the top of lock lever located at the foot-end of the
stretcher. The directional wheels will lock automatically when
they align with the length of the stretcher when start to move
the stretcher. To unlock, press the opposite end of the lever to

VIPER
Wheel brakes are not a substitute for operator control. The
operators must remain with the stretcher and keep control of
it at all times. Never leave the patient unattended.
Verify that directional wheel lock lever is in locked position
before you push the stretcher inside the ambulance to avoid
the risk of the wheels colliding during unloading.
Wheel locks are not brakes. Do not use wheel locks to slow a
moving stretcher.
