Parking Brake
The brakes are preset and adjustment should only be necessary if the brakes become loose or
no longer function correctly.
To apply the parking brake push the brake lever towards the front of the wheelchair. Push
the lever back to release the brakes. See photos below. These levers are to be used by hand
only.

To remove the rear wheels depress
the quick release button and pull
the wheel away from the frame of
the wheelchair. The Quick Release
axle will also be removed at the
same time. For safety reasons this
should only be carried out when the
wheelchair is unoccupied and the
wheelchair can be supported.

These brakes are NOT to be used as a means of slowing the wheelchair or bringing it to a stop, they are a
parking brake only.
Adjustment would be required as the knurled brake lever or tyre wears.
Take extra care when re-fitting to ensure the wheel is positively located and locked into
place before using the wheelchair. This can be done by gently pulling the wheel to ensure it
is located correctly.
