Tekna Tilt 29
7.14 Wheels with drum brake
This accessory allows the attendant to brake the
wheelchair even when it is moving. It can also be
use as parking brake.
It is very useful along slopes along which controlling
the wheelchair may be difficult.
To brake the wheelchair, just pull up the lever A that is fixed on
each push handle.
The more you pull the more braking force on the wheel.
When you release the levers A, the brake action ends.
The drum brake can have the function of parking brake.
Pull up and keep the lever A, then, push forward the toothed
lever B (it is located in the lower side of the brake lever) and
finally leave the lever A.
Now the lever B holds the lever A and the brake keeps working.
To release the brake from this position, pull up the lever A just
enough to be able to release the lever B and simply leave it.
7.15 Spoke guard
These have principally a
cosmetic function but
also prevent the user
from
accidentally
inserting their fingers in
the rear wheel spokes.
7.16 Casters
This model can be equipped with 6” or 7” solid
or pneumatic caster.
The pneumatic caster is the most comfortable,
but it often needs to be inflated.
