10.2 USE OF ATTENDANT HANDLE BRAKE

The Attendant brake has been fitted to allow the wheelchair attendant to brake the
wheelchair if required. If the brake is to be locked for longer periods of time or for when
transferring to and from the wheelchair then the Wheel Hand brake should be used.

To lock the brake, pull up the brake lever (Fig 10.2.1) and with your fore finger push down
on the lock (Fig 10.2.2). Release the brake lever and it will remain in this locked position.

To un-lock the brake, pull the brake lever upwards and the lock will disengage.

11.0 MAINTENANCE & DAILY CHECKING

Protect your wheelchair by having it checked regularly. We strongly advise you to have
your wheelchair check at least once a year by a qualified dealer, who will only use the
correct spare parts. This periodic inspection will ensure you that the wheelchair will
function perfectly for years. There are a lot of things you can do yourself to keep your
wheelchair in optimum condition. If you regularly check the wheelchair and perform (small)
maintenance, this will extend the lifetime and increase the ease of use.
11.1 TYRES AND WHEELS

Examine tyres periodically for wear and replace them as needed.

Make sure the wheels can move freely without touching anything.

The front wheel and fork should move freely to ensure a smooth ride.
11.2 BRAKES

Regularly check the brakes. If there are sharp rims on the brakes we advise you to replace
them. Ensure that all the parts of the brake are in the right position and fastened securely.
11.3 CROSS FRAME

Check that the cross frame of the wheelchair is in good condition. Make sure the wheelchair
is easy to fold and un-fold.
