Page 5
The drum brake is designed exclusively for operation by an assistant pushing the wheelchair. Drum brake can
be used as a parking brake and also for slowing down the wheelchair gently.
2.3 Anti-tilt device
The anti-tilt device prevents the wheelchair from tipping over backwards. Please note that for using the
wheelchair the anti-tilt device is of only limited use on rough areas, hoists and ramps.
Make sure that the clearance to the sides, above and below is sufficient.
2.4 Tyres
Make sure that the tyres have sufficient tread (>1mm) at all times. If the tread is too worn down, safe use of
the wheelchair cannot be guaranteed.
2.5 Obstacles
Always use ramps to negotiate obstacles (e.g. curbs, steps etc.). Do not travel into an obstacle (step) without
braking or jump down from steps.
2.6 Ascents and descents
Please note that if the seat back is adjusted to an extreme tilt, your wheelchair may tip backwards on even a
moderate slope. Negotiate inclines and slopes only with an assistant with these adjustments. Use the anti-
tilt device to help prevent the wheelchair from tipping backwards.
