Adjustments 
 

Each wheelchair is supplied with a small toolkit which has the necessary tools 
to perform simple adjustments and maintenance. 

 
Parking Brake  
Note: Should the parking brake become ineffective, check the tyre is 
inflated as low tyre pressure can affect the function of the brake. 

 

 

 

Should the parking brake become ineffective, it can be adjusted by slackening 
the two allen bolts circled above. Fully release the brake, slacken the bolts 
and carefully slide the brake assembly towards the rear wheel about 5mm. 
Retighten the two bolts and test. If the brake remains ineffective, repeat the 
process until the brake holds. 
 

Footplate Depth 

 
The footplate depth should ideally be adjusted by your dealer prior to the 
commissioning of your wheelchair. 

 

 
hould you require to adjust the depth of the footplate, locate the nut and allen 
bolt located on the footrest hanger. 
Completely undo the nut and bolt and remove the retaining bolt from the 
footrest hanger. The footrest stem tube has adjustment holes to set the depth. 
When the required depth is achieved, simply locate the bolt through the 
hanger tube and stem and retighten the bolt.
