Always ensure that the parking brake is locked by att-
empting to move the wheelchair.
Adjusting and using
the hand brake (optional)
Upon delivery, the optio-
nal hand brake is correctly
adjusted for the attendant.
If braking is insuffi
cient,
this can be increased by
unscrewing the adjusting
screw and decreased by
screwing in the adjusting
screw (photo 33).
For adjustment, fi rst remo-
ve the locking nut and then perform the corresponding
adjustment; thereafter retighten the locking nut and in
doing so, use pliers to hold the adjusting screw. To bra-
ke the wheelchair by the attendant, pull up both brake
handles at the hand grip.
To apply the brakes (such as for parking), you can lock the
brake handle in the braking position by simply pushing
the locking mechanism forwards with your fi nger until it
snaps into place; to unlock, push the locking mechanism
back (photo 34+35).

If you need to step away from the wheelchair while it is
occupied, it is essential to additionally apply the parking
brake.
Operating the tilting aid
To maneuver around
curbstones and over
thresholds step fi
rmly
(with the left or right foot)
on the tilt aid while simul-
taneously pushing down
the handles. This ensures
that lifting the front of the
wheelchair is easier. En-
sure that you are standing
securely (photo 36).
Adjusting the height of the push handles
To adjust the height of the push handles, remove the
clamping screw and the height can then be continuously
adjusted (photo 37+38).

Tighten the clamping screw!
Collapsing
For easier transport or for stowing in motor vehicles, the
wheelchair can be collapsed with just a single maneuver.
To do this, fi rst remove the optional seat cushion as well
as the footrests, then grasp both looped handles loca-
ted at the side of the seat surface cushion and pull the
wheelchair upwards (photo 39+40).
