Stretcher Operation

OPERATING THE FIFTH WHEEL OPTION

The purpose of the fifth wheel option is to help guide the stretcher when transporting a patient along a straight
line and also for pivoting at corners.
To engage the fifth wheel, push the proper side of the brake/steer pedal to the full down position.

OPERATING THE BIG WHEEL OPTION

When the brake/steer pedal is in the neutral or brake position, the Big Wheel is elevated approximately 3/4"
and the stretcher rests on the four casters.
NOTE
The two Big Wheels do not pivot. The stretcher cannot be moved directly sideways with the Big Wheel acti-
vated. With the pedal in the neutral position, the stretcher can be moved in any direction including sideways.
When the brake/steer pedal is in the steer position, the foot end casters are elevated approximately 1/4" and
the stretcher rests on the two head end casters and the two Big Wheels. This provides increased mobility
and ease of steering the stretcher.
