4.8 Braking by an accompanying
person (optional)
While moving, slow down the wheelchair by
pulling both levers upwards. To park the chair
you can lock the brake levers. To do this, pull
up the lever and subsequently pull up the
small locking lever.
The locking lever will then engage automati-
cally. To release the brake simply pull the brake
lever upwards and the locking lever will relea-
se automatically.
The accompanying person can use the optio-
nal drum brake as a service and locking brake.
This is particularly advantageous when moving
on slopes. Movement can then be reduced by
applying the brake levers more or less strongly
as required. In addition, the drum brake can
also be used as a parking brake.
WARNING
In models without an optional
drum brake, the accompanying
person must be physically and
mentally able to stop the
wheelchair busing his own
strength. The locking brake is
then available as a parking brake.
04 USING THE WHEELCHAIR
NOTE
Always use the left and right
brake simultaneously. Using only
one side will make the chair very
hard to manoeuvre.
