BRAKE RELEASE LEVER
Locking the brake
Push the brake release lever (11) for-
ward as far as it will go, (Fig. 3).
!
Attention:
It is impossible to push the wheelchair
when in drive mode.
• The brake performance decreases
when:
– the brake pads are worn.
If the wheelchair demonstrates an une-
ven or impaired braking effect, take it
immediately to your specialist workshop
for repair.
Releasing the brake
Pull the knob on the brake release lever
and pull the brake release lever back
as far as it will go (Fig. 4).
!
Attention:
Do not get into/out of the wheelchair
unless it is switched off and the selec-
tion lever has been set to drive
mode.
Inadvertently knocking the control le-
ver (35) will set the wheelchair in
motion without control! – Danger of
accidents!
BRAKES
The brakes are one of the most impor-
tant safety features of a wheelchair.
The SPRINT GT model 2.593 is
equipped with two independently-work-
ing braking systems as a standard fea-
ture.
1. The motor brake:
An electronic service brake which
brakes the wheelchair gently without
jerking.
2. The safety magnetic brakes:
These are used only when the wheel-
chair is stationary. They are activated
by way of the selection lever for
drive/push mode. At the same time,
they guarantee the automatic brak-
ing of the wheelchair in the event of a
power failure.
You switch the safety magnetic brakes
from the drive mode to the push mode
with the brake release lever located at
the side of the wheelchair!– Also ob-
serve the signs affixed to the left and
right of the brake release lever.
!
Attention:
Danger of crushing between the
drive wheel and frame.
• The safety magnetic brakes are im-
mediately fully effective after the
brake release lever is pushed into
the 'drive mode' position. – Control-
led braking is not possible!
• Please observe the Safety Instruc-
tions!
