casters by pushing down on the caster lock.
NOTE: Locking the casters may not prevent the bed from moving on slick or slippery surfaces.
4. To unlock each of the two locking casters, pull up on the caster lock.
WARNING
Ensure that casters are locked and that the bed does not move before transferring.
DO NOT transfer occupant if bed is not stable.
