rear wheel brakes :
Before installation, loosen the two screws securing the brake clamp (shown in
Figure C.) Position the brake clamp on the top horizontal bar of the frame. Slide
the brake assembly into the approximate position shown in Figure C. Tighten the
two fixing screws to secure the brake. Check that the brake is in the correct
position by the following checks:
i. When released, the brake does not interfere with the tyre
ii. When applied, the brake stops the wheel
iii. The user can easily apply the brake
iv. When applied, the brake is lower than the seat.
This is important to avoid injury to the user during lateral transfer. If the position is
incorrect, loosen the two screws on the brake collar, reposition, retighten the two
screws and recheck.
➢
Brake operation :
Pusk the brakes forward to lock the wheel. Pull the brakes back to release the brake. Ensure
both brakes are applied when the chair is stationary and when the user is side transferring.
