Knee lever brakes (RXS only)
The knee lever brake (Fig. 20) mounts
on a clamping system (1) and is correctly
set prior to leaving the factory. To apply
the knee lever brake simply push the
operating lever (2) forwards until you feel
it go over centre, and the grip bar (3)
grips the tyre (4). The operating lever (2)
can have a detatchable extension which
can be removed to create space for side
transfers. When the knee lever brake is
applied remove the operating lever
extension by pulling it off the brake.
Refit when you are reseated. It is
attatched by a cord to the knee brake
and cannot fall off.
Warning:
Knee lever brakes are not designed to
slow down the chair when it is moving.
Knee lever brakes, prevent the rear
wheels from turning when the chair is
stationary.
Knee brake
Operating position and adjustment
instructions for the kneebrake wheel lock
are shown in Fig. 21.
Slaken the two screws (1) on the wheel
lock clamp and slide the brake to
achieve the correct wheel lock gap, then
retighten.
The wheel lock gap (2) (which is the gap
between the nearest point of the wheel
lock and the tyre) should be 3mm with
pneumatic tyres (tyres filled with air) and
5mm with solid tyres, when the wheel
lock is in the released position.
Grade aids (RXS only)
Grade aids are shown in Fig. 21.
To operate the aid push the lever (1)
downwards. You will feel it go over a
spring loaded lock, when it has done so it
is in the operating position. When the aid
is not required pull the lever up over the
spring loaded lock.
