2.5.2 Hub brakes, attendant control
Besides the functions provided by manual brakes, the hub
brakes (photos 26 & 27) provide the slow down (for example,
on a slope) and improved safety because they are still efficient
when you have a flat tyre !
To slow down, gradually pull the lever (A) upwards.
In addition to the manual brakes, you can lock the brake in
parking position, with the lever (A) tightened, push the lock (B)
to engage it in the notches of the brake handle, then pull the
lock up to unlock.
To adjust braking : turn the screw (C) counterclockwise to
increase braking force and turn clockwise to reduce it.
The specific adjustments of hub brakes must always be
performed by your Dealer.
Always operate the two brakes simultaneously and do
not take slopes exceeding 5° to ensure perfect control of the
wheelchair steering !
Always use the manual brakes to secure the wheelchair during
short or long stops.
