Brakes
The brakes of the Canto Nxt are correctly
adjusted ex factory. If your Canto Nxt is a
push wheelchair, it has drum brakes with a
brake lever. The central foot brake is located
at the bottom of the wheelchair at the back.
When the bracket is up the wheelchair brake
is disengaged; when it is down the brake is
engaged.
It may be the case that over the years the
braking power decreases or is no longer
uniform for both wheels. You should then
adjust the brakes.
Loosen the locknut (A).
n
Turn the adjustment bolt (B) outwards*.
n
Check that the braking power is
n
adequate.
Adjust it again if necessary.
n
Tighten the locknut (A).
n
Repeat this on the other side, if required.
n
* If you turn the adjustment bolt too far outwards, the
brake will be engaged in the neutral position too. The
wheels must turn freely in the neutral position.
