Attendant Brakes
These are located on the handles and have a 2 click system. See Fig 7b. To slow the
wheelchair pull the brake handles which will 'click' once and then by applying
further pressure it will increase braking. By pressing harder the brake handle will
'click' again which means the parking brake has been applied. To release the brakes
(from either the 1 click or 2 click position) then press the release handle.
