4.7.1. Operating the parking brake

29
The parking brake must only be used for parking. To slow down while
driving, you must only use the drive wheel handrims (Fig. 29) or the
optional drum brakes for attendant.
When braking using the handrims, hold the highest point. First let
the handrims slide through your hands
Slowly increase the braking force by exerting holding force on the
handrims, until you come to an abrupt stop.
As soon as the wheelchair has stopped, push both brake levers
30
forward (Fig. 30). The wheelchair is securely braked, if it can no
longer be pushed and both brake levers are pushed forward to the
stop position.
Pull the lever towards you to release the brake.
4.7.2. Operating the brake lever ex-
tension (optional)
As an option, your wheelchair can be fitted with a brake lever exten-
sion. The extended lever reduces the effort required and is therefore
particularly recommended for individuals with reduced arm and hand
strength.
Bring the wheelchair to a standstill (see Chapter 4.7).
Push both brake levers forward. The wheelchair is securely braked,
if it can no longer be pushed and both brake levers are pushed
forward to the stop position (Fig. 31).
Pull the lever towards you to release the brake.
Operational position Extend the brake lever to its longest position and
fold it down before you set off (Fig. 32, Fig. 33).
Please note that there is a risk of burns if your hands
heat up when braking using the handrims!
