Main Brakes (Fig.6.3); Throttle - Quickie Attitude Directions For Use Manual

Main brakes (Fig.6.3):

The brakes allow you to safely and comfortably brake
your add-on bike.
WARNING!
• If the main brakes should fail, then the parking brakes
may be used once for emergency braking.
• The main brakes must be repaired imediately before
next use.
• Hard and sudden application of the brakes may cause
you to fall forward with your upper body, resulting in
possible injury. Therefore always stabilise yourself by
holding onto the handles firmly with both hands.
• Braking power can be severley decrease by any or all
of the following:
1. Worn tyre tread
2. Air pressure which is too low
3. Soiled and wet tyres.
• Ensure that the brake pads and brake discs do not
become contaminated with oil and/or grease. If this
happens the brake pads must be replaced. The brake
disc must be professionally degreased with a brake
cleaner.
• Be aware that the condition of the ground surface can
significantly affect braking efficiency.
WARNING!
• The braking effect will be greatly reduced if the surface
is wet, dirty, sandy, stoney, uneven or otherwise
compromised by environmental conditions. It is best to
avoid such conditions, but if this is not possible adapt
your driving style to avoid the risk of potentialy serious
accidents.
• Dirty and wet rims and brake pads also reduce the
braking effect when using rim brakes. For this reason,
you should always adapt your method of riding to the
environmental conditions in order to avoid serious
accidents.
• Always check the efficiency of the brakes before
starting your journey to ensure that they are working
correctly. The brakes should be checked regularly by
your dealer and adjusted if required.

varied between 0 km/h and max speed, (Fig.6.4).
WARNING!
• Never operate the throttle when the add-on bike is
not attached to the wheelchair!!
• Never operate the throttle during transfer and
