7:1 Service brake
- Loosen the screw on the inside
of the brake handle.

180° (the pin on the plate’s in-
side must sit in the upper hole)
and tighten it again.
Tools: Phillips screwdriver.
The braking effect is
dependent on the air
pressure in the tyres.
The brakes are parking
brakes and should not
be applied during use.
The brakes are infinitely settable.
- Loosen the nut (A) a couple of
turns and slide the brake until
the brake block is about 15-20
mm from the tyre when the
brake is not applied.
- Ensure that the brake is
straight in the groove and
tighten the nut appr. 5 Nm.
Test the brakes.
Tools: 5 mm Allen key.
If the rear wheel is positioned
in one of the forward settings
it is possible for a legrest, when
swung to the side, to unlock an
applied brake. To avoid this the
brake handle should be adjusted
so that you attain a “neutral”
position. In this way the brake will
unlock first when the handle is
pushed close to the rear wheel.
Brake lever exten-
sions and angled brake
handles are available as
accessories.
