Besides the functions provided by manual brakes, the optional hub brakes
provide slow down (for example, on a slope) and improve safety because
they are still efficient when you have a flat tyre!
To slow down gradually pull the lever upwards. To lock the brake in parking
position, with the lever tightened, push the lock to engage it in the notches of
the brake handle;then pull the lock up to unlock. To adjust braking:turn the
screw 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 mount the hub brake attachment in backward position
