Drum brake for accompany-
ing persons
The drum brake is operated by the
accompanying person by way of the
brake levers (1) on the extended push
handles or the pushing rod.
!
Attention:
With the drum brakes version, the
accompanying person must not lift
the wheelchair on the extended
push handles. – This may lead to
bending in the subsequently ex-
tended push handles to bend.
Function as operating brakes
Pull both brake levers evenly and only
lightly in order to achieve a controlled
deceleration of the wheelchair.
Locking the drum brakes
– Pull both brake levers evenly in
order to secure the wheelchair
against unintentional motion [2].
– Press the surface (A) of the locking
latch down with one fi nger and let
it snap into place.
– Release both brake levers. – De-
pending on the setting, the respec-
tive locking latch will click into the
fi rst or second latching position
and lock the brake.
☞
Note:
☞
It should not be possible to push
the wheelchair forward when both
brakes are locked.
☞
If the third locking position (C) is
required to activate the brake, it
must be readjusted by a specialist
workshop.
Releasing the drum brakes
Pull both brake levers until the lock-
ing latches (3) automatically jump out
of the lock.
Let go of both brake levers. – The
parking brakes are released and the
wheelchair ready for use.
