Adjustment of the drum brakes
The basic adjustment of the drum brake is carried out on the rope
clamping screw. The final adjustments are carried out with an adjusting
nut on the brake cable. If the adjusting nut is turned up, the braking
efficiency is increased.
•
The drum brakes affect only one of the drive wheels at a time!
•
Make sure that the drive wheels have the same air pressure to
achieve directional stability.
•
Drum brakes get worn out as well. If the braking performance is
reduced, the wheelchair must be withdrawn from circulation. To
avoid this because of safety reasons your braking device should be
checked by a qualified mobility dealer every six months!
•
After the adjustment are made, please tighten all the screws and
perform a brake test !
In general !
The adjustment of the brake system should be done only by a qualified
mobility dealer!
4.5. Seat height
There are 5 positions for tailoring the seat height to the user‘s
requirements. Driving wheel and steering wheel must be in the same
position in each case.
Driving wheel
•
First remove the rear wheels to facilitate the adjustments.
•
Loosen the screws on the adapter (Allen key, SW 4 and ring spanner
SW 10), (fig. 25), and pull them out completely.
•
Reinsert the screws into the adapter and tighten them up again.
•
The locking brakes must then be readjusted!
Steering wheel
•
Loosen the axle (Allen key, SW 4) , (fig. 26), and take it out
completely.
•
Place the steering wheel in the right position for the required seat
height.
•
Reinsert the axle into the steering fork and firmly tighten it up
again.
Adjustments of the seat height can affect the
stability of your wheelchair; a lower seat height has
a positive impact on stability.
