Brakes check
To check the correct functioning and the efficiency of the parking brakes act as follows:
•
Activate the brake (Fig. P, S, U);
•
Check if the wheels are blocked.
The included brakes, except for
optional drum brakes, have to
be used only as parking brakes and
never to decrease the speed of the
wheelchair while moving.
To ensure the efficiency of the brakes it
is necessary to maintain the proper tyre
pressure and check frequently the wear
of the clamping elements.
