4.1 Rear wheels with drum brake
The drum brake allows safe braking, which is independent of the
tyre pressure. It is activated with the brake lever on the right and left push bar with
four engagement options.
A safety catch engages with an audible "click" by pulling the lever. The brake is
applied in the fourth click position.
Release the brake by pulling the lever again and pressing the red safety catch at
the same time.
By braking lightly on one side it is possible to achieve a steering movement when
pushing.
Setting the drum brakes
The drum brakes are set by turning the setting
screws (A) in or out. They are located at the lower
end of the brake cable in the brake saddle. Un-
screw the screw a little for precise adjustment un-
til you hear a grinding noise with turning the rear
wheel. The brake jaws are placed lightly against
the hub housing in this state. Then turn the set-
ting screw 1 turn back and clamp it in place with
the nut. Check the function of the drum brake and readjust the setting screw if
necessary.
Leave this work to your specialist dealer in case of any uncertainty.
The drum brake may only be used on the level with maximum load as a parking
brake due to safety reasons.
The knee lever brake must always be used on a slope and tilt up to a maximum of
8%.

4.2 Quick release axle
The quick release axles on the rear wheels make
it considerably easier to transport your FLOYD
chassis. You only need to press the button (B) in
the centre of the wheel hub, and the wheel can
be easily removed or reinserted.
When inserting the quick release axles, you
should be able to hear it engage with an audible
"click".
Check the tight axial fit of the quick release axle each time the rear
wheel is mounted!
