6.0 Options

6.1 Step Tubes

Step tubes are used by attendants to push a wheelchair
over an obstacle. Simply step on the tube to push a wheelchair, for example,
over a kerb or step, (Fig.6.1.1).

6.2 Wheel Locks

CAUTION!
Braking power can be affected by incorrect fitting and
adjustment of the wheel locks, as well as tyre pressure which is too low.
Wheel locks
Your wheelchair is equipped with two wheel locks. They are applied directly
against the tyres. To engage, press both wheel-lock levers forward against the
stops. To release the wheel, pull the levers back to their original positions.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• Wet tyres
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks.
The wheel locks have not been designed to be used as wheel lockss for a
moving wheelchair. The wheel locks should therefore never be used to wheel
locks a moving wheelchair. Always use the handrims for braking. Make sure that
the interval between the tyres and wheel locks complies with given
specifications. To readjust, loosen the screw and set the appropriate gap. Then
re-tighten the screw, (Fig.6.2.1 and Fig.6.2.2).
CAUTION!
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel lock gap and re-adjust
if necessary.
