How to Use
User operation
The user can operate the wheelchair brakes as
parking brakes. To apply the brakes, push the lever
on the actual brake unit to lock the brake in postion.
Repeat this the other brake.
Attendant operation
The brakes can be used by the attendant either as
parking brakes or brakes used for decelerating.
To use as parking brakes, use the brake lever to
lock the brakes, as the user operation above.
To use as brakes used for decelerating, squeeze
the brake handle to apply both brakes whilst the
wheelchair is in motion.
Safety Considerations
The Easibrake is designed only to aid decelaration
whilst the wheelchair is in motion.
The rate of decelaration is dependant to the
wheelchair, occupant, ground gradient and type of
tyre used.
The maximum gradient the Easibrake should be
used on is 16% (1 in 6).
When the wheelchair is static, the parking brakes
should always be applied.
Typical Installations
Using the Easibrake on other wheelchairs
The Easibrake has been designed for use on the
Medicare range of wheelchairs.
The Easibrake may also fit other makes of
wheelchair. Please note though that the warranty
only covers the Easibrake product and does not
extend to any wheelchair it may be fitted to.
Medicare wheelchairs are covered by their own
warranties. Medicare Technology accepts no liability
for any damage or injury sustained related to non-
Medicare products.
