BRAKES

• 

Brakes are designed as a locking device
only and should be applied when the
wheelchair is stationary.  Do not use
brakes for slowing the wheelchair.  Use
the push rims as a means of braking.

Adjusting Brakes

• 

Inflate tyre to correct pressure before
making adjustment to brakes.

• 

Loosen locking screws, using 5mm
Allen key, on brake clamp and adjust
brake so when the lever is in the locked
position the wheel is firmly held.

• 

Re-tighten locking screws using 5mm
Allen key.

• 

Check that, when both brakes are
applied, the wheelchair will not roll.  
If rolling occurs re-adjust.

• 

When brakes are in the off position the
bars should not rub against the tyre
