4.10. Brakes
As standard, the wheelchair is fitted with parking brakes to be operated
by the wheelchair user.

4.10.1. Operating the parking brake
The parking brake must only be used for parking. To slow down while
driving, you must only use the drive wheel handrims or the optional
drum brakes for attendant.
•
When braking using the handrims, hold the highest point. First let
the handrims slide through your hands
•
Slowly increase the braking force by exerting gripping force on the
handrims, until you come to an abrupt stop.
•
As soon as the wheelchair has stopped, push both brake levers
forward (Fig. 23). The wheelchair is securely braked when it can no
longer be pushed and both brake levers are pushed forward to the
stop position.
Pull the lever towards you to release the brake.

The parking brakes must not be used as operational
brakes, as there is a risk of death due to the risk of
falling!
Please note that there is a risk of burns if your hands
heat up when braking using the handrims!
Never use the brake lever as a support - e.g. when
transferring or standing up -, otherwise there is a
risk of tipping over and falling! The lever could
break off!

The parking brake - with or without brake lever
extension - only works on one drive wheel and
must therefore always be used on both sides!
4.10.2. Adjusting the parking brakes
Adjusting the brakes must only be carried out by
trained personnel. Please bear in mind that if
the brakes are set incorrectly this can have life-
threatening consequences.
•
Mount the brake in a position which is operable and offers secure
braking in all driving situations.
•
To adjust the gap, undo the two socket screws on the brake bracket
(Fig. 24).
•
Then push the brake system to the correct position along the
bracket.
•
Finally re-tighten the two socket screws.
•
Make sure that the brakes click into place when operating the lever
and that they don't snap back.
4.11. Operating the parking brake
with the brake lever extension
The procedure for operating the parking brake with the brake lever
extension is the same as operating the parking brake (see Chapter
4.10.1).
Folding the brake lever extension in
•
The brake lever can be folded in when driving or transferring to the
side.
•
Pull the plastic grip out of the lever (Fig. 25).
•
Fold the plastic grip down (Fig. 26).
•
Before setting off, the brake must returned to its operational
position by following the procedure in reverse order.
