Operating The Braking Castors - Invacare ScanBeta NG Manuel D'utilisation

3.2 Operating the braking castors

In some instances, the castors can mark certain types of floor, e.g. untreated wooden floors. If in doubt, Invacare®
recommends that a suitable protective covering is laid between the castors and the floor.
3.2.1 Operating castors without a central braking system
When the cot is in the desired position, at least one castor at the
head end and one castor in the foot end must be locked.
1. Lock: Step on the outer part of the pedal.
2. Releasing: Step on the release pedal.
Do not attempt to release the brake with your fingers as they may
get caught.
3.2.2 Operating castors with central braking system
When the cot is in the desired position, the brakes must be applied.
1. Neutral: When the pedal is in the horizontal position, the
brakes are not activated and the cot can be moved.
2. Brake: Depress the pedal to activate the brake.
