2.4 Adjusting the brake of the Varia with 12" rear wheels
The wheelchair is equipped with drum brakes on the rear wheels,
which can be operated with the foot by the person pushing the
wheelchair.
Proper functioning of the brakes is essential. That's why the brakes
have to be:
•
Properly adjusted
•
Replaced in time.
Adjust the brakes as follows:
•
Loosen nut (A).
•
Remove nut (B) with a 10 mm open-ended spanner.
- Clockwise: brake tighter.
- Anti-clockwise: brake looser.

For the proper functioning of the wheelchair, it is very important that the
wheels are kept in order.
The following parts can be replaced:
Wheel (A), see 'Replacing a wheel'.

2.6 Replacing a wheel
Replace a wheel as follows:
•
Loosen the Allen bolt (A) with an Allen key with a key width of 5
mm.
