4 ADJUSTMENTS

c) Adjusting the brakes on 12 in. wheels.

Figure 21: 12 in. wheel brakes

When the Tango AC 4-wheel chair has 12 in. wheels, the brakes are on the back and can
be adjusted as follows (see Figure 21):

1. By loosening the two screws (

), without removing them, you can move the brake

rod (

) up or down, setting a gap of about 3/16 to 1/4 in. between the top of the

wheel and the brake brace, with the brake released.

To secure the base (

), place it on top of the frame so the side that is cut in half

faces the inside of the wheelchair. Next, align the holes to assemble the screw
(

) and the nut (

) with two (2)

7/16" open-end wrenches

3. Tighten the assembly and check that the brake moves smoothly.
