Wheel Locks
Adjusting the Wheel Locks
The wheel locks may require adjustment
from time to time. This is normal for any
device using wire cables.
To adjust the wheel locks, loosen the wheel
lock nut (1) and turn the cable adjustment
Screw (2) clockwise to loosen the brakes
and counter-clockwise to tighten them.
Once adjusted, re-tighten the lock nut being
careful not to allow the adjustment screw
to turn.
When adjusted properly, the brake bar (3) should embed into the
tire deep enough to prevent the wheel from turning
when wheel locks are applied.
Using the Wheel Locks
The wheel locks are for holding the chair
parked, not for slowing the chair down on
ramps or other inclines.
To apply the wheel locks, squeeze the
wheel lock levers (1) mounted on the push
handles. They will lock in the “on” position.
(If they do not lock they may need repair
or adjustment)
To disengage the wheel locks, squeeze the levers and and release
them by squeezing the release lever (2) with one finger while
releasing the wheel lock lever.
Foot Rests
The foot rests are fixed onto the chair frame
and have adjustable flip up foot plates (1). The
calf strap (2) wraps around the foot rest down
tubes (3) and attach to themselves to keep the
user's feet from slipping off the back of the foot
plate.
To flip up the foot plates, simple grasp the
inside edges (4) and fold up vertical.
(
The foot plates should always be in the vertical position when
the user is entering or leaving the chair
)
