3. FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
3.1 Included spanner
Most adjustments for HD Motion are done without
using tools. In those cases where a tool is required,
it is a most often a 10 mm spanner. This spanner is
included with the wheelchair, placed on the rear
crossbar (Figure 3).
3.2 Brakes
HD Motion is equipped with combined service- and
parking- disc brakes that can be activated by both the
caregiver (1 in Figure 4) and the user (2 in Figure 4).
CAREGIVER BRAKES
The caregiver brake handles are are located under the
push bar (1 in Figure 5). The brakes are activated by
pushing the handles up towards the push bar. Holding
the brake handles slightly pressed achieves a braking
effect, for example when moving downhill.
The parking brake is activated by pressing the brake
handles up towards the push bar and then moving the
locking sleeve (
a
in Figure 6) forward so that the brake
handle is locked in place, see Figure 6.
NOTE
: Make sure the locking sleeve is pushed forward
sufficiently so that it sits securely.
NOTE
: Always use both left-hand and right-hand
parking brakes together.
USER BRAKES
The user can engage the brakes by moving the brake levers forward from the wheels. The brakes are
released by moving the brake levers back towards the wheels.
Adjustment of the wheel lock must be performed by qualified personnel; instructions are in the
technical manual.
- Parking brakes are not suitable for use when the wheelchair is on a surface that slopes more than
7°.
- Adjustment of the disc brakes should only be done by a qualified technician.
