Watch the video above for a demonstration or use the instructions below as a quick reference.

Manual Brake Operation

  1. Use your foot to press the desired pedal at either end of the bed.

  2. The pedals control three main functions:

    • Brake (Lock) – Secures all casters and prevents movement.

    • Steer – Locks one caster to assist with straight-line movement.

    • Neutral – Allows all casters to swivel freely for maneuvering.

  3. When the brake is not activated, an amber light will illuminate on the side rails and footboard, indicating the bed is mobile.

  2. Tap Turn Brakes On to engage the brakes.

  3. When the brakes are active, the icon will illuminate.
