Operating and applying the brake
The wheelbase in drum brake is fitted with hand
operated hub brakes to allow regulation of speed on
hills and whilst travelling along. These are located on
the push handles.
• To apply the hub brakes, pull the brake levers (1)
evenly and smoothly towards the push bow and
bring the wheelbase to a stop.
• For locking the drum brake in parking position,
press the lever (1) against the push bow and push
the lever (2) away from you wedging the park
brake lever.
• Make sure both parking brakes are locked.
• The parking brake will be released when you press
the lever (1) against the push bow. It is locked
with a spring and this will in this way be released.
It is extremely important that the parking
brakes are locked when the user is left alone
sitting in the wheelchair.
Never leave the user alone in the wheelchair
without activating the parking brake.
If the brake does not brake properly:
To adjust the wire on one or both sides, adjust the
foot screw 2 – 4 rounds out. Then recheck the brakes.
If the wire is too loose:
• Adjust the foot screw all the way in.
• Tighten the wire by loosening the wire clamp
before pulling the wire further through it.
• Tighten the wire clamp, and adjust the foot screw
out again.
1 pc 10mm open-end spanner.
To ensure the correct functions of the wire,
these must never be taut.
