BRAKE
The wheelchair is fitted with a pressure brake
(fig. 2). It works directly on the tyres.
Pushing the brake levers to the end stop locks
the brakes and prevents your wheelchair from
being pushed (parking brakes).
Benefits:
– Controlled braking of the driving speed
(service brake).
– Secures the wheelchair against accidental
rolling.
!
Attention:
Please observe the Maintenance Instructions
as well as instructions in the section “Gener-
al Safety Information” and “Brakes” in the
brochure “Safety information - Mechanical
wheelchairs”!
• Any decrease in braking performance must
be repaired immediately by your specialist
workshop.
• The brake performance decreases when:
– tyre profile is worn
– tyre pressure is too low
– tyres are wet
– pressure brake is loose.
PRESSURE BRAKE
Service brake
Gently and evenly press both brake levers (5)
slightly forwards. This way, you brake the
wheelchair in a measured way (fig. 2).
Locking the pressure brakes
Push both brake levers (5) forward as far as
they will go (fig. 3).
!
Attention:
If only one brake is applied when the wheel-
chair is driving down an incline, the free-run-
ning wheel will continue moving around the
locked wheel. Depending on the gradient
of the road, this can lead to the wheelchair
overturning to the side.
Releasing the pressure brakes
Pull both brake levers (5) back, (fig. 2).
