Brake lever Extension
The extension for the brake lever
can be removed or folded down.
The longer lever helps to minimise
the effort needed to set the wheel
locks (Fig.7.0).
CAUTION!
Mounting the wheel lock too
close towards the wheel will
result in a higher effort to
operate. This might cause the brake lever extension to break!
CAUTION!
Leaning onto the brake lever extension while transferring will
cause the lever to break! Splashing water from tyres might
cause the wheel lock to malfunction.
Options - Brakes
Drum Brakes
Drum brakes permit safe and
convenient braking for an attendant.
They can also be set with the aid of
a locking lever (1) to prevent rolling.
The lever must snap audibly into
place. Drum brakes are not
influenced by air pressure inside the
tyres. Your wheelchair cannot be
moved when the drum brakes are
set (Fig. 7.0).
CAUTION!
Drum brakes must only be adjusted by authorised dealers.
Wheel locks
Your wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks. They are applied
directly against the tyres. To engage, press both brake levers
forward against the stops. To release the locks, pull the levers back
to their original positions.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• Wet tyres
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks
The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as brakes for a
moving wheelchair. The wheel locks should therefore never be
used to brake a moving wheelchair. Always use the hand-rims for
braking. Make sure that the gap between the tyres and wheel locks
complies with given specifications. To readjust, loosen the screw
and set the appropriate gap. Then re-tighten the screw (Fig. 6.0 +
8.0).
CAUTION!
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel lock gap
and re-adjust if necessary.

Options - Footplates
Footplates:
The footplates can be flipped up to
make it easier to transfer to/from the
chair.
Lower leg length:
For users with longer legs, the leg
support can be lowered to the
appropriate level by using the
screws (1). Loosen the screws, push
the tubes to the desired position and
then re-tighten the screws (see
section on torque). There must
always be a minimum gap of 25mm
between the footplates and the ground, (Fig. 8.0).
Footrests and Latch
The legrests can be swung inwards
under the seat sling or outwards.
When fitting the legrests, the
footrests must be pointing inwards
or outwards. Then rotate the legrest
inwards, until it locks into place. To
remove, pull the lever (1), swing the
footplate inwards or outwards and
then lift the legrest out. Make sure
that the legrest is locked into place
correctly, (Fig. 9.0).
CAUTION!
•
The legrests must not be used to lift or to carry the wheelchair.
•
When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the footboards.
These should be flipped up beforehand or the footrest should be
swung to the outside as far as possible.
