Casters and brakes
Casters and brakes description
The Vivid E80/E90/E95 has four casters (wheels), two Front
Casters and two Rear Casters.
All Casters are mounted on swivels so they can change
direction as needed.
The Front Casters can be locked in fixed directions.
• Three plastic pedals, used for controlling the brakes and
direction locks, are located at the front of the Ultrasound
system.
The pedals are mounted on the Pedal Mechanism.
The Pedal Mechanism has these functions:
• direction lock
• parking brake
release the two other functions, if activated
The direction lock and brakes are operating on the front
wheels. A lever placed on each of the front wheels give the
interface to the pedal mechanism. These levers are
engaged by rods being moved by a rotating bracket
(Bracket Rotation). When the mechanism is engaged in
either position, the pedal will not move back into a neutral
position. This is to indicate which function that is activated. It
will then be needed to release this by the release pedal.
The Rear Casters have brakes that are operated individually
for each caster.
