Scissors wheel locks
Scissors wheel locks (Fig. 72) can
be supplied on the Quickie 2
Millennium. The locks mount on
clamping systems (1) and are
correctly set prior to leaving the
factory. To apply the wheel lock pull
the operating lever (2) forwards
until you feel it go over centre, and
the grip arm (3) grips the tyre (4).
Warning
Wheel locks are not brakes
designed to slow down the chair
when it is moving. Wheel locks,
when properly adjusted, prevent
the rear wheels from turning when
the chair is stationary.
Scissor wheel locks
To adjust, loosen the screws (1) on
the clamp (2). Using a 5mm Allen
key turn one of the screws
anticlockwise ¼ turn (Fig. 73).
Repeat the process with the
second of the two screws. Loosen
the screws until the clamp can slide
freely. Slide the clamp towards the
rear wheel until the grip bar (3)
embeds into the tyre (4)
approximately 4mm (3/16") when in
the locked position. Tighten the
screws to a torque setting of 15Nm.
