Safety information
▲
The wheelchair loaded with the
user may not let itself be pushed in
with the brakes engaged.
▲
Any decrease in brake perform-
ance must be repaired immediately
by your specialist workshop.
▲
In order to prevent an unintention-
al curve while braking the wheel-
chair on slopes, both brakes are to
be activated simultaneously.
▲
Do not lean on the sideward brake
levers (1)
!
Attention:
The braking effect depends upon:
– the condition of the tyres,
– the condition and attachment of
the brakes,
– the brake adjustment,
– the road condition.
☞
Note:
After changing the drive wheels
the brake is to be checked for
faultless function and in necessary
adjusted.
!
Attention:
Do not leave wheelchairs with
puncture proof (PU) tyres over
longer periods of time with the
pressure brakes engaged. – This
can cause accidents during regu-
lar braking due to some remaining
deformation in the surface.
