PARK BRAKES

After several months of use, you may find it necessary to adjust the park

brakes so that they lock securely when engaged. You also may need to adjust
them after changing the drive wheel position.

WARNING! If your wheelchair is equipped with pneumatic tyres, make sure
they are inflated to the pressure recommended on the sidewall of the tyre.
Failure to heed can result in personal injury and/or damage to your wheel-
chair.

To adjust each park brake:
1.

Engage the park brake. See figure 2. The distance that the park brake blade
should travel into the tyre is 31 mm (1/8 in.) for pneumatic tyres and 63 mm
(1/4 in.) for solid tyres.

2.

Disengage the park brake.

3.

Loosen the hardware that fastens the park brake to the frame. See figure 14.

4.

Reposition the park brake.

5.

Tighten the hardware that fastens the park brake to the frame.

6.

Reengage the park brake and note the position of the blade.

7.

Reposition the park brake if necessary.

8.

Repeat the procedure for the other side.

CASTER WHEEL SWIVEL

Caster wheels that have difficulty swiv-

eling may indicate that the bearings need
to be changed. If they are not swiveling
freely,  contact your authorised Pride Dealer
immediately.

CLEANING

To keep your wheelchair clean, use a

damp cloth and  wipe it down. Don’t use a
hose. This could force moisture into the
caster swivel or the drive wheel hub. Always
use soapy water on the seat and dry it thor-
oughly before using.

CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

If you feel that your wheelchair’s performance has degraded or is not operating

correctly, contact your authorised Pride Dealer. All components should be ser-
viced by an authorised Pride Dealer while the unit is still under warranty. We do
not recommend that you remove any parts and send them back for repair without
first contacting your authorised Pride Dealer. Contact your authorised Pride Dealer
for a list of authorised service facilities or you can visit us at www.pridemobility.com.
