wheelchair. 

5.15.4 Release the joystick to engage the electromagnetic brake to stop 

the wheelchair when it is powered on. Or use the handrims for 
braking when the wheelchair is propelled manually. Make sure 
that the interval between the tires and the brakes complies with 
the given specifications. (Figure 5.38) 

5.15.5 To adjust the interval between the tires and the brakes, first 

loosen the bolts and set the appropriate gap. Then re-tighten the 
bolts. (Figure 5.39) 

 

CAUTION 

●

 

After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the interval 

between the tires and the brakes and re-adjust the brakes if 

necessary.

Do not touch the wheels when they are rotating to prevent the user's 
hands or fingers from being pinched.

5.17.1 Insert the parallel swing away 

controller assembly into the armrest 
tube. 

5.17.2 Adjust it to an appropriate position 

and retighten the screw.   

5.17.3 The wheelchair has a side steering control unit, which is either 

mounted on the left or right armrest. The joystick module can be 
mounted on a swing away mechanism. This system enables you 
to sit close to a table.
