when it is moving.
Wheel brakes hold the chair in place when it is
at a complete stop.
It is recommended that any adjustments to your
wheelchair brakes be made by suitably trained or
qualified personnel.
Keep fingers and other items away from the
area where the brake contacts the tyre when
it is being applied or released to prevent
injury or damage to property.

For fitting please follow the directions. Before using the
22” wheel model please ensure the Anti-tips are fitted
correctly and Anti-tip wheel is facing downwards towards
the ground . Using it without Anti-tips is not recommended,
unless an attendant is in control of the chair .
There are no Anti-tips fitted as standard to the
attendant version, therefore make sure that you
are physically capable of pushing the user and
chair on a slope particularly up hill and that
you are prepared if the chair tips backwards
