Brake/Neutral/Steer System
The brake/neutral pedals are located at the head end and foot end of the Titan Series Stretcher (S-AM1-300X) with a
central brake system.
WARNING:
Unless transporting the patient, always set the brakes when the stretcher is occupied. Reconfirm
that the brakes are set before any patient transfer. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or equipment
damage.
To set the brakes, press on the RED section of one of the brake pedals. All four casters will lock.
To release the brakes, press on the GREEN section of one of the brake pedals to set it in the neutral position.
The steering system is optional on the Titan Series Stretcher (S-AM1-300X). The steer function is used to keep the
stretcher moving in a straight line and to make it easier to turn corners.
Hi-Lo Control
The Hi-Lo function foot pedals are on each side of the stretcher.
1. To raise the stretcher, press the up control pedal and pump it until the
desired height is reached.
2. To lower the stretcher, press the down control pedal until the desired
height is reached.
WARNING:
It is recommended that the stretcher be in the lowest
position when the patient is unattended. This may help reduce the
severity of any injuries resulting from patient falls.
CAUTION:
Use caution when lowering the stretcher. Make sure
items in the storage compartment do no interfere with the upper
frame. Equipment damage could occur.
