For patient and carer safety, the Multicare X has a central brake to activate and deactivate the bed brakes.

Three brake positions:

1. Stop - brakes are activated and the bed will not move. It is not possible to move the bed in any direction, no matter which way it is pushed.
2. Neutral - there are no brakes on all castors. With the unbraked wheels, it is now possible to move the bed in every direction.
3. Go - there are no brakes on all castors, but one is steering. The steering castor can either be the front left wheel or the fifth castor is activated. 
   • Note: The Go position doesn't allow the bed to be moved sideways.
