Operating the steerable castor
TM
The SB755
with central braking system
may be equipped with a steerable castor.
The steerable castor is operated by means
of the central braking pedal.
1) Activating the steering:
If the brake is in neutral, step on the
green pedal.
2) Deactivating the steering:
Step on the red pedal, until the brake is
in neutral position
Set-off from the castors might under special conditions appear at different types of absorb-
ing floor covering - including untreated or badly treated floors. In matters of doubt, Invacare®
recommends to place a suitable kind of protection between the castors and the floor.
Always apply the brakes when there is no need for moving the bed, to avoid
accidents during entering or exiting the bed, and during handling of the patient.
Placement in the room
The bed must be placed so that the height adjustment (up/down) is not
obstructed by, for example, lifts or furniture. Otherwise there is a risk for
injury on user and/or equipment.
