Adjustment of the brake
When your ORTHOSCOOT
®
is delivered, the brake system has already been properly adjusted by us. You may use
your ORTHOSCOOT
®
without any further precautions.
When the device is used, there will be wear and abrasion. As a consequence, it is necessary to adjust the cable
pull again. The way of driving and the load profile may accordingly reduce this interval. New brake pads also requi-
re that the cable pull is adjusted as soon as the brakes have been bedded in.
During the whole period of use, please observe any possibly changes with respect to the response characteristic
of the brake system. With the help of the following explanations, technically experienced users may easily carry
out these settings themselves.
Please read the following steps carefully and take all the time you need for the setting. In contrast to the abo-
ve-mentioned setting of the handlebar and knee pad, there is only one correct setting with respect to the brake
which has to be determined. As soon as you are uncertain whether you understand the explanations correctly and/
or whether you know what to do or not, please contact and consult the authorized specialty stores or even com-
pletely charge them with construction. A brake which technically and ergonomically fits your needs perfectly is
essential for your safety and a correct handling.
The brake must always be set in such a way that the rear wheel is blocked when the brake lever is pulled.
Furthermore, with the same setting, the brake must be triggered by operating the locking mechanism and the rear
wheel must be locked and consequently, any rolling away on sloping undergrounds must be excluded.
At first turn the lock nut at the brake lever up to the
stop against the adjusting screw.
Please do not use any tools for this purpose, just firm-
ly tighten it with your hand.
Afterwards screw in the adjusting screw and the lock
nut up to the stop.
