TRITON
| Multifunctional wheelchair

5.3. Tipping lever

• The tipping lever makes it easier for an assistant to tilt the wheelchair
slightly backwards in order to go over a step for example.
• To do this, push the lever down using your foot (Fig. 35).
• Use the push handles to keep your balance.
• The anti-tip wheels are installed with integrated tip-assist function.

5.4. Negotiating stairs and high

steps
35
• The helpers shall take hold only at securely mounted parts of the
frame (see Fig. 36 and 37).
• When going up any stairs, the helper behind the wheelchair pulls
the wheelchair over the step, holding it at the securely mounted
handles.
• The helper who is below takes hold of the front frame tubes and
stabilises the position. At the same time, he pushes the rear wheels
36
of the wheelchair against the steps.
• When going down any stairs, the helper who is below brakes by
pushing the wheelchair right against the steps. The helper above
holds the wheelchair at the push handles, secures it and holds it
in the right position. The wheelchair should roll down step by step

For obstacles and stairs with more than three steps,
two accompanying people shall help you.

5.5. Drum brake (optional)

As an option, the Triton can be equipped with a drum brake, which
should only be operated by an attendant person via the brake lever on
the push handles.
The drum brake should be used as both a locking brake and also as a
service brake. When used as a service brake, it provides well-regulated
deceleration. The locking brake function is used for parking. To lock the
brake, simply pull the brake lever and push the locking lever upwards
(see fig. 38).
• To release the locking brake again, simply pull the brake lever
briefly. (The locking mechanism releases automatically).
To achieve optimum braking efficiency, the braking power is set by
using the adjusting screw (see fig. 39). The braking power is increased
by unscrewing the adjusting screw and reduced by tightening it.
• Then tighten the adjusting screw until the friction noises disappear
The wheel then runs freely.
• After completing the setting, the adjusting screw is fixed by
tightening the locknut.
