Activate parking brakes and use
When delivered, the fixing brakes are correctly adjusted
to the configuration condition. If you changed the posi-
tion of the wheel, the position of the brake might need
to be adjusted as well.
To do so, remove the
screws on the bottom of
the brake (see picture 12)
and move the whole unit,
so that the space between
the pivot bolt and the
wheel is as big as 10 mm.
Tighten the two screws for
an optimal setting.
Make sure, that the screws are inserted and tigh-
tened properly!
Push the brake lever forwards in order to apply and ac-
tivate the brakes until it engages. Pull the lever towards
you in order to loosen the brake. (Picture 13+14).
Make sure the fixing brakes are locked by moving
the wheelchair.
For a comfortable transfer from and to the
wheelchair, the parking brakes can be folded. To do
so, pull the lever upwards and then folde it. (Picture
15+16).

Adjusting and using hand brake (optional)
When delivered, the hand
brake is adjusted properly
for the accompanying per-
son. If the braking effect isn’t
strong enough the adjusting
screw may be loosened or
tightened for less braking
effect, loosen the lock nut
before adjusting the braking
effect as explained.
Make sure to tighten the lock nut after adjusting, hold the
adjusting screw with pliers. (Picture 17).
In order to brake the wheelchair, the accompanying per-
son must pull the braking handles towards the pushing
handles.
You can lock the braking handles by pushing the lock flap
down with your finger until it locks, in order to lock the
brakes for example: for parking, to unlock and release the
brakes, simply pull the flap back. (Picture 18+19).
If you want to get up from the wheelchair you must
activate the fixing brakes additional to the hand
brake.
