Negotiating obstacles
1. Push the push bar down and push on the anti-
rollback support with your foot at the same time.
2. Push the wheelchair onto the elevation (obstacle)
and release the anti-rollback support again.
3. Push the wheelchair further and lift the rear wheels
over the obstacle with the push bars.
Going up steps can be negotiated forward; riding
down steps is better backwards.
Attention:
• Keep the speed under control when going
down a gentle slope.
Brakes
The brakes of the Match are adjusted correctly as
standard at the factory. The Match is equipped with
drum brakes that can be operated by the foot pedals
in the rear and on the side of the chassis. The foot
pedals must be in down position when the chair is on
the brake.
The braking force may have been reduced over the
years or may no longer be the same for both wheels.
In that case consult your dealer.

Self-propelled wheelchair
If you self-propel the Match, the brake is
incorporated into the hub of the hoop wheel.
Each wheel can be placed independently
from the other on the brake either backwards
or forwards by means of the braking lever.
The braking force may be reduced through
intensive or prolonged use of the brakes. You
then need to set the brakes.
Using an Allen wrench (3 mm), tighten the
setting screw on the underside of the braking
lever by a half turn.
Check that the brake power is now sufficient.
Further adjust if necessary.
