5OPERATION PROCEDURES
2. Center wheel system (KK-728E only)
 Moving the center wheel located at the base center of the stretcher to be in contact with
oor improves cornering, tracking, and allowing stable steering of the stretcher.
When the center wheel is ON
 Raising the center wheel locking pedal sets the
center wheel to ON for better cornering, tracking, and
steering. This mode is convenient for moving over
relatively long distances, such as between patients’
rooms.
 When cornering
 The turning radius of the stretcher is small, thus
o󰀨ering easy directional control and minimizing the
force needed to push the stretcher. This allows for
quick movement.
WARNING
 Do not move too fast when
cornering. The stretcher may tip
over, resulting in an injury.
When the center wheel is OFF
 Depressing the center wheel locking pedal sets the
center wheel to OFF to allow the stretcher to move in
any direction (including sideways).
This mode is convenient for moving short distances,
such as moving within a room.
 When cornering
 The stretcher rotates when cornering, requiring the
person pushing to move around when cornering, and
also requiring force to restrain the stretcher.
CAUTION
 Do not attempt to forcibly
move the stretcher
sideways when the center
wheel is ON because it
may result in malfunction.
To move the stretcher
sideways, set the center
wheel to OFF.
 Do not stand on the center wheel locking pedal. Doing so
could cause damage, deformation, or a malfunction.

screw knob (for locking an IV Pole).
WARNING
 For an IV Pole to be directly
mounted on the stretcher, use
only accessories approved by
Paramount Bed. The use of
products other than the specied
suitable products or products
from other companies could
create unintended gaps, cause
interference between products,
or lower stability, resulting in
injury or damage to the stretcher.
 Insert an IV Pole rmly all the way
at a specied attachment position
and rmly tighten the thumb screw
knob (for locking an IV Pole). If an
IV Pole is used in an insu󰀩ciently
inserted or locked state, it may
unintentionally fall or become
detached, resulting in injury.
Furthermore, when the backrest
is lowered, the IV Pole may come
into contact with it, resulting in
damage to the IV Pole.
To use
1Loosen the thumb screw knob (for locking the
sliding pipe) of the IV Pole, adjust the sliding
pipe length, and then lock the sliding pipe by
tightening the loosened thumb screw knob.
WARNING
 When loosening the thumb
screw knob, rmly grip the
sliding pipe (upper part of
the support pole). The sliding
pipe may unintentionally fall,
