Brakes and
Steering There is a pair of linked brake pedals at each end of the trolley.
Push the pedals down to apply brakes on all castors.
When the pedals are horizontal, the castors are free to rotate and
swivel.
A steering castor is engaged when an optional 5th wheel is fitted
and the pedals are fully raised. In this situation the trolley will
keep on a straight course in any direction and can be steered by
pivoting about the 5th wheel. When the 5th wheel is not fitted the
steering castor is at the foot-end and the trolley should be pushed
from the head-end.

Height and Tilt
Adjustment The height and the tilt angle of the mattress platform are adjusted
using a group of five foot pedals on either side of the trolley. The
three pedals marked on the bottom row are used to raise the
platform. The two pedals marked on the top row are used to
lower the platform.
Height/Tilt Pedal Arrangement
Tilt Adjustment To raise one end of the platform: Operate the ‘raise’ pedal ( 
) nearest that end of the trolley with a pumping action.
To lower one end of the platform: Press down on the ‘lower’
pedal () nearest that end of the trolley and keep it pressed.
There is an additional ‘lower’ pedal () that enables head down tilt
to be applied from the head-end of the trolley.
Height Variation To raise the platform: Operate the central ‘raise’ pedal ()
with a pumping action.
To lower the platform: Press down both ‘lower’ pedals ()
and keep them pressed.
If the platform is raised or lowered when tilted, the tilt angle will
be maintained until the leading end reaches the limit of travel,
when the platform will return to the horizontal condition.
