8.3. Drum brake
As an option, the Pyro start plus+ can be equipped with a
drum brake, which should only be operated by an accom-
panying person via the brake lever on the push handles.
The drum brake should be used as both a locking brake
and also as a service brake. When used as a service brake
it provides well-regulated deceleration. The locking brake
function is used for parking.
• To lock the brake, simply pull the brake lever and push
the locking lever upwards (Fig. 30).
• To release the locking brake again, simply pull the brake
lever briefly. (The locking mechanism releases automati-
cally.)
To achieve optimum braking efficiency, the braking power
is set using the adjusting screw (Fig. 31). The braking
power is increased by unscrewing the adjusting screw and
reduced by tightening it.
• Please unscrew the adjusting screw until you notice fric-
tion noises on the wheel when it is turning.
• Then tighten the adjusting screw until the friction noi-
ses disappear. The wheel then runs freely.
• After completing the setting, the adjusting screw is
fixed by tightening the locknut.
