BRAKES

User brake
To engage the brake, move the lever (A) forwards.
To release the brake, move the lever backwards
(towards you).
Be careful not to trap your fingers between
the brake shaft and tyre.
Adjusting the brake
1. First check that the tyres are inflated to the correct
air pressure (you will find this on the tyre wall).
Then loosen the screws (B) with an Allen key, slide
the brake to the desired position and tighten. The
correct distance between the brake shaft (C) and
the tyre must be approx. 5 mm.
Incorrect adjustments or use of the brake can
reduce the braking effect.
Carer-operated brake
1. Applying the brake while moving: pull both brake
handles upwards and the chair will come to a
stop.
2. To lock the brakes: pull the brake handle and move
the lock catch (A) downwards. Then let go of the
handle.
3. To release the brakes: pull the brake handle and
the lock catch will release automatically.
Incorrect adjustments or use of the brake can
reduce the braking effect.
