PULL-TO-LOCK BRAKE 

 

To  engage  the  brake,  pull  the  lever 
backward until it locks. 
 

To  release  the  brake,  push  the  lever 
frontward.  The  brake  automatically  goes 
back to its resting position.  

 

 

 
 
 

BRAKE WITH EXTENDED LEVER 

 

The brake (push-to-lock and pull-to-lock) with extended lever works 

in the same manner, but results easier to engage and release. 
 
To  prevent  the  extended  lever  from  standing  in  the  way  while  the 

user  is  moving  from  or  to  the  wheelchair,  it  is  possible  to  fold  the 
lever.  

 
In order to do so, pull the lever up first and then fold it forward. 
 
To  put  it  back  to  the  normal  using  position,  turn  the  lever  up  and 
then push it down 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

SPORT BRAKE 

 

To engage the brake, turn the lever until it 
locks. 
 

To  release  the  brake,  push  the  knob  P 
forward. The brake goes back to its resting 
position. 

 

 

This  type  of  brake  reduce  the 

encumbrance of the wheelchair when you 
remove  the  rear  wheels.  It  prevents 
interference with your hand when pushing 
on  the  hand  rims  even  with  long  pushes. 
On  the  other  hand,  in  comparison  with 
traditional  brakes,  its  lever  in  located  a 

lower  position  and  it  is  less  easy  to 
operate.  For  such  reasons,  it  is  not 

suitable 

for 

user 

with 

reduced 

control/movement  of  the  trunk  and/or 
upper limbs and hands.
