The lever must snap audibly into place.
Drum brakes are not influenced by air pressure inside the tyres
(Fig.6.9).

• Drum brakes must only be adjusted by authorised dealers
• Always operate the two brakes simultaneously to guarantee
the control of the driving direction!
• Drum brakes can only be used as a dynamic brake to stop the
wheelchair while driving.
• Always engage the wheel locks to secure the wheelchair
during a short or long stop, or for transfer.
