The parking brakes are used to immobilise the wheelchair
when it is stationary to prevent it from rolling away.
WARNING!

If you apply the parking brakes while you
are moving, the direction of movement can
become uncontrollable and the wheelchair may
stop suddenly, which can lead to a collision or
to you falling out.
– Never apply the parking brakes while you are
moving.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
The parking brakes will not operate correctly
unless there is sufficient air in the tires.
– Ensure the correct tire pressure, 3.8 Tires,
