Option - Brakes
Wheel locks (7.10.2)
The wheelchair is equipped with
two wheel locks. The wheel locks
are applied directly against the
tyres. To engage, press both wheel
lock levers forward against the
stops (Fig. 10.1). To release the
wheel, pull the levers backwards.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• wet wheels
• improperly adjusted wheel locks
The wheel locks have not been designed to be used
as brakes. When moving, do not operate the wheel
locks. Always use the handrims for braking.
Make sure that the gap between the wheel locks
and the tyres complies with the given specifications
(Fig. 10.2). To readjust, loosen screw (1) and set the
appropriate gap. Tighten screw again (see the page
on torque).
CAUTION!
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check
the brake setting and if necessary, readjust.
Drum brakes (7.13)
Drum brakes permit safe and con-
venient braking for an attendant.
They can also be applied with the
aid of a locking lever (1). The
locking lever must snap audibly
into place. Performance of the
drum brakes is not dependant on
the air pressure inside the tyres.
The wheelchair cannot be pushed
when the drum brakes are set.
CAUTION!
Drum brakes should only be
adjusted by authorised dealers.
Footrest
Footrest and footrest interlock
(7.23.1)
The footrest can be swung out-
wards. When fitting the footrests
these are installed in the swung-
away position. Then simply turn
them inwards until the interlock
engages (1). To remove the foot-
rests, use the lever (2) and swing
the footrest outwards and lift off.
Check that the footrest is correctly
engaged.
CAUTION!
The footrests are not designed
to be used to lift or carry the
wheelchairs with an occupant.
