Leckey Tour Mobility Base, Manual

Page: 23 / 32

10.4 Cleaning and care
To clean your mobility base, use a mild
detergent. It is important to pay particular
attention to certain components of your
mobility base to ensure a smooth operation.
Hair or dirt particles may accumulate between
the castor wheel and the fork, making it
difficult for the castor wheels to rotate.
Remove hair and dirt particles.
When mounting or removing the wheels,
please ensure no oil gets on the brake linings
or brake drum.
If the mobility base gets wet, towel dry it as
soon as possible.
Do not use the mobility base in salt water.
Keep sand or other particles from damaging
wheel bearings.
Check the tightness of all screw connections
regularly. If a screw connection frequently
comes loose, consult your dealer.
10.3 Adjustable Brake
force for 22” and 24” wheel
To adjust the drum braking force, please refer
to Fig 20.
The braking force can be adjusted using
the adjustment screw (A). By unscrewing
the adjustment screw, braking force will be
increased and vice-versa. With the wheel
rotating freely the adjustment screw should
be unscrewed until you can hear the noise
of the wheel being braked. Next screw in
the adjustment screw until the friction noise
disappears. The wheel should run freely. After
adjustment tighten the locking nut (B) against
the post (C). When tightening the locking
nut (B), ensure that the adjustment screw (A)
doesn’t rotate. Ensure the wheels lock only
when the retaining claw (Fig 10, item C) of the
hand brake lever is in the 2nd or 3rd ratchet
position.
Ensure the locking/braking forces of both
wheels are adjusted equally.
