Drum Brakes; Options - Footplates - Sunrise Medical Breezy RelaX2 Manual De Usuario

Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• Wet tyres
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks
The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as wheel
locks for a moving wheelchair. The wheel locks should therefore
never be used to brake a moving wheelchair. Always use the
hand-rims for braking. Make sure that the gap between the
tyres and wheel locks complies with given specifications. To
readjust, loosen the screw and set the appropriate gap. Then
re-tighten the screw, (Fig. 7-8).
CAUTION!
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel lock
gap and re-adjust if necessary.
Mounting the wheel lock too close towards the wheel will result
in a higher effort to operate. This might cause the brake lever
extension to break!
Leaning onto the brake lever extension while transferring will
cause the lever to break! Splashing water from tyres might
cause the wheel lock to malfunction.

DRUM BRAKES

Drum Brakes permit safe and convenient braking for an
attendant.
They can also be set with the aid of a locking lever (1) to
prevent rolling.
The lever must snap audibly into place.
Drum Brakes are not influenced by air pressure inside the tyres
(Fig.9).

WARNING!
• Drum Brakes must only be adjusted by authorised dealers.
• Always operate the two Drum Brakes simultaneously to
guarantee the control of the driving direction!
• Drum Brakes can only be used as a dynamic brake to stop the
wheelchair while driving.
• Always engage the wheel locks to secure the wheelchair
during a short or long stop, or for transfer.

Options - Footplates

FOOTPLATES:
The footplates can be flipped up to make it easier to transfer to/
from the chair.
LOWER LEG LENGTH:
For users with longer legs, the leg support can be lowered to
the appropriate level by using the screws (1). Loosen the
screws, push the tubes to the desired position and then
re-tighten the screws (see section on torque). There must
always be a minimum gap of 2.5 cm between the footplates and
the ground, (Fig.10).
FOOTRESTS AND LATCH
The legrests can be swung inwards under the seat sling or
outwards. When fitting the legrests, the footrests must be
pointing inwards or outwards. Then rotate the legrest inwards,
until it locks into place. To remove, pull the lever (1), swing the
footplate inwards or outwards and then lift the legrest out. Make
sure that the legrest is locked into place correctly, (Fig 11).

CAUTION!
• The legrests must not be used to lift or to carry the wheelchair.
• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the
footboards. These should be flipped up beforehand or the
footrest should be swung to the outside as far as possible.
