Brake Operation 

The brake can either be used as an aid to control the chair whilst travelling 
down an incline or can be locked on for when the chair is stationary.  

Always lock the brakes on when leaving the chair/user unattended to 
avoid any incident as the chair will roll away if left on an incline with the 
brakes unlocked. 
 

 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

To use the brake to control the chair on an incline pull the lever up into the 
handle. To lock the brake, push down. The brake handle will ‘lock’ into the 
lower position. To unlock the brake, simply pull upwards and the brake will 
become free.
