individually to the specifications in the order.
3.4 Parking Brakes
The parking brakes are used to immobilize the wheelchair
when it is stationary to prevent it from rolling away.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning if you brake sharply
If you apply the parking brakes while you are
moving, the direction of movement can become
uncontrollable and the wheelchair may stop
suddenly, which can lead to a collision or to you
falling out.

moving.
WARNING!
Risk due to wheelchair being out of control
– The parking brakes must be operated
simultaneously.
– Do not apply the parking brakes to slow down
