3.8 BRAKES
ATTENTION
THE KNEE LEVER BRAKES ARE ONLY TO BE
USED FOR PLACING THE WHEELS IN A RESTING
POSITION. THEY ARE NOT TO BE USED TO BRAKE
WHILE DRIVING.
ATTENTION
While braking, forces occur that you must
be able to handle. A wheelchair is generally
(when physically possible) slowed down when
simultaneous pressure is applied with both hands
on the hand rims.
Unevenly applied pressure causes swerving.
While driving downhill a higher strain for braking
occurs. Do not shy away from getting help.
Before each ride with your wheelchair, be sure to
check the functionality of the brakes.
ATTENTION
Possible damages or function defects can occur
from:
• too low tire pressure,
• wetness, snow, mud etc.,
•
warn off profile,
• warn off brake bolts,
• loose screws on the brake bolt,
• defected Bowden cables,
• dirty drum brakes,
• too great of a distance between brake bolts
and tire.
