Operating The Big Wheel® Option - Stryker 1037 Manuel D'utilisation

OPERATING THE BIG WHEEL® OPTION
WARNING
Make sure that the brakes are completely released before attempting to move the unit. Attempting to move the unit with
the brakes engaged could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
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 as shown in Figure 3.1.
Note: The two Big Wheels® do not pivot. The stretcher cannot be moved directly sideways with the Big Wheel
activated.
With the pedal in the neutral position, the stretcher can be moved in any direction including sideways as shown in
Figure 3.1.
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® as shown in Figure 3.2. This provides increased
mobility and ease of steering the stretcher.
CAUTION
Do not engage the steer pedal when the Big Wheel is resting on a threshold or other raised area. The force required to
engage the Big Wheel will be higher than normal, possibly causing damage.
