3.2 Parking brakes

The parking brakes are used to immobilise the wheelchair
when it is stationary to prevent it from rolling away.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning if you brake sharply
If you engage 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 engage 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, 3.14 Tires,
page 22.
