If the wheelchair is fitted with (optional) Hub
Brake wheels the standard Occupant brake
will also be fitted. Hub brakes are for the
attendants use only and not for use as a
parking brake. You must ensure that the
supplied Occupant parking brakes are used
when the chair needs to be parked and you
must not rely on any parking brake which
may be fitted to the Hub Brakes.
Note: Do not leave the brakes ON for a
long period. If you do, a flat section may
appear on the tyre. When not using the
wheelchair i.e. overnight or during storage,
always make sure the brakes are OFF.
Do not leave the wheelchair on a slope, even with the brake on. Always ensure that
the wheelchair is on level ground to prevent risk of injury to the occupant.
4.7 Rear wheel position:
The rear wheels are supplied mounted in the forward position to provide optimum ease of
manoeuvring and tipping. However, a small number of people may require a greater
degree of stability. If this is the case the rear wheels and brakes can be moved to the rear
mounting position. Only someone who is a competent tradesman or repairer should carry
out this procedure.
To move the rear wheel position:
Using two 19mm spanners undo the axle-
mounting nut. Make sure you note the
position of the washer and spacer bushing.
Reassemble in the rear position, apply
loctite to the threads and tighten the nut.
Fig 4.7.1
Once the rear wheel has been moved, the brake needs to be re-positioned.
