the wheel off (Fig. 22).
• When refitting, simply put the wheel onto the receiver. When doing
this, push the locking knob in.

If the drive wheel or castor is worn or defective, ask
your dealer to service them!
The parking brakes must not be used as operational
brakes, as there is a risk of death due to the risk of
falling!
Please note that there is a risk of burns if your hands
heat up when braking using the handrims!

4.10.1. Operating the parking brake
The parking brake must only be used for parking. To slow down while
driving, you must only use the drive wheel handrims 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 gripping force on the
handrims, until you come to an abrupt stop.
• As soon as the wheelchair has stopped, push both brake levers
forward (Fig. 23). The wheelchair is securely braked when 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.
Never use the brake lever as a support - e.g. when
transferring or standing up -, otherwise there is a
risk of tipping over and falling! The lever could
break off!
