Moving The System; Using The Front Brakes - Siemens ACUSON Antares Instructions For Use Manual

Moving the System

Caution: Preparations before moving the system are important to minimize
potential damage to sensitive components and to avoid safety hazards. Review
the moving instructions before moving the system.
Caution: Do not park, or leave unattended, on a slope. Even when the rear
brakes are engaged, the system may slide down a ramp.
The ultrasound system is designed to be a mobile unit. Before moving the
system to another location, you must prepare for the move by powering off
and securing the system.

Using the Front Brakes

Front Brake.
The front brakes (on the wheels nearest you when you face the control
panel on the ultrasound system) are set differently from the rear brakes.
The front brakes are set simultaneously from a foot pedal in the central
section of the system front bumper as either unlocked, locked swivel, or
locked.
