Mounting friction brake
There are two versions of the friction brake depending on the type of
tire (solid or pneumatic) that the wheelchair is equipped with.
If the wheelchair is equipped with pneumatic tires, the "12 PCS"
friction brakes must be installed in the front swing arms.
If the wheelchair is equipped with solid tires, the "13 PCS" friction
brakes must be installed in the front swing arms.
The rear swing arms always use "12 PCS" friction brakes.
