Adjustment and set-up
6.15 Adjusting the brakes
A-Run comfort wheelchair comes with two sets of brakes; Accompanying brakes, which are
activated by using the lever on the push handle. The push brakes are activated by applying a
forward pressure and can be operated by the user himself. Both brake kits can be adjusted as
needed.
6.15.1 Adjusting the pushbrake
If the balance point and thus the position of the rear wheels change or if the wheel size is
changed, the brakes must be moved to insure effecient braking. The brakes must be moved
forward before changing to the balance point or rear wheels. After adjusting the balance point
or performing wheel shift, adjust the brakes correctly.
Before adjusting the balancepoint or wheelchange:
• Loosen the two nuts in the bracket that secure the brake to the front frame with a 5 mm
Allen key (Fig. 42).
• Move the brake forward so that they are not in the way.
After adjusting the balancepoint or wheelchange:
• Loosen brakes.
•
Move them back the brakes so that the brake pad, when activated, brakes the tire suffi -
ciently so that the seat is safely securely. As a rule, the brake pad must push down on the
cover at least 5 mm (Fig. 43).
• Tighten the bolts.
It is important that the right and left brake are the same. Make sure the brakes apply the same
amount of force, to ensure an equal and safe braking system.
