2.6 Wheel lock

ATTENTION
The knee lever brake is a wheel lock and NOT
designed to brake during the drive. While driving,
(especially downhill) you could bring the wheelchair
to a sudden full stop, whereby you could fall out of
the wheelchair. A service brake, such as a drum
brake, allows controls braking.
ATTENTION
Before each drive make sure to check
• the correct tire pressure (information is on
the outer tire)
• and if necessary the brake pressing bolt.
• and if necessary the cable controls
ATTENTION
Cable controls are high maintenance! Especially
the clamp screws and the Bowden cable need to be
checked on a regular basis and retuned if necessary.
These cable controls are used for:
• Drum brakes
• Cable brake (integrated in the side guard)
• One hand brake
• Accompany brake (only by older models).
ATTENTION
The reverse gear stop is effective on an incline of
max. 12,3% (=7°) with a load (passenger incl. seat
shell or similar) of up to 90kg.
ATTENTION
Regularly remove lint and dirt from the brake bolts.
ATTENTION
Keep in mind that dirt, wetness, ice, snow, mud etc.
can impair the brake force of the wheel lock.
ATTENTION
Do not make repairs on the wheel lock yourself. Ask
your rehab technician.
ATTENTION
After all changes on the rear wheels (position of the
axle plate, tire changing) the functionality of the
wheel lock must be checked and if necessary newly
adjusted.

equipped with anti-tippers.

you must secure the wheelchair from rolling away,
slowly reach behind you without leaning too far out of
the wheelchair, push the anti-tipper down and turn it
180° on its own axis until it snaps back into the guide
slot. If possible hold with your other hand on to the
rear wheel/hand rim on the opposite side:

using elevators or lifting platforms deactivate
