Putting the wheels on
Before you take the
drive wheels off, secure
the wheelchair against
tipping.
Press on the black knob
on the quick-release axle
to release the connection.
Then pull the drive wheel
out.
Adjusting the brakes
Adjustments to the brake should be performed by
trained professionals. If you have sufficient experience,
you can also perform this work yourself.
Brake adjustment
The interval between the
center mounting bolt and
the tire cover must be
10 mm at the narrowest
place when the brake
mechanism is opened at
its maximum.
To adjust/correct the
interval, loosen both of the
screws on the alignment
bar of the parking brake.
Push the brakes into the correct position.
Then screw the screws back in securely and test the
function.
You should not be able to push the wheelchair when the
brakes are activated.
Drum brake
To achieve an optimal
braking effect, the braking
force is adjusted with the
adjusting screw.
The braking force is
enhanced by loosening
the adjusting screw.
Important!
Take care to adjust
simultaneously on both
sides of the wheelchair.
Safety belt
An optional safety belt can be added. The secures
and stabilizes the person sitting in the wheelchair. This
effectively prevents the person from tipping forward out
of the wheelchair.
The safety belt is fastened behind on the right and left
to the back tubing. This addition should be done in a
specialized workshop.
