Remove the Front Casters
Follow this procedure to remove the Front Casters:
1. Turn front casters so they are pointing forwards.
2. Activate the direction lock.
3. Put the bevel edged board on the floor.
4. Pull the Ultrasound system backwards up the board incline.
This will lift the rear caster on the opposite side of the
Ultrasound system from the floor.
5. Turn the rear caster that stands on the bevel edged board in
the direction as shown in Figure 8-11 on page 8-74.
6. The Ultrasound system is now nearly balanced between
one front caster and one rear caster.
7. Make the Ultrasound system rest on both rear casters and
lift the front caster.
8. Put the wooden wedge under the chassis. This will stabilize
the Ultrasound system with one front caster free from the
floor.
9. Unscrew and remove the three fixing screws for the front
caster that is free from the floor. Save the screw for later
use.
10. Remove the front caster.
WARNING
Prior to elevating Ultrasound system:
• verify that the floating Operating Panel is locked in its
lowest, parking position.
• verify that the front brake is locked and the Ultrasound
system is unable to swivel.
• verify that the rear brakes are in the locked position.
WARNING
Use extreme caution as long as the Vivid E80/E90/E95 is
un-stable, not resting on all four casters.
