VivaCart Operation
Directional Lock Swivel Caster
VivaCart features three-way directional lock
swivel casters to aid in ease of transport. With
directional lock engaged, VivaCart will roll truer
and straighter.
Each of the three colored control tabs give the
caster a different function when pressed firmly
(see fig. 9.1):
GREEN (also indicated by arrow) activates
Directional Lock, where the caster locks in
a fixed direction of movement parallel with
the cart.
RED (also indicated by the word "STOP")
activates the brake that locks the caster in
place and does not allow movement
GRAY (also indicated by the word "OFF"
unlocks the caster to move .
For best results, activate directional lock on the opposite end of where you are pulling or
pushing VivaCart (see fig. 9.2 and 9.3). For instance, if you are pushing from handles mounted on
the front of the cart (enclosed drawer side), activate directional lock on the rear of the cart.
