3.2 Wheel locks

The wheel locks are used to immobilise the wheelchair when
it is stationary to prevent it from rolling away.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning if you brake sharply
If you apply the wheel locks while you are
moving, the direction of movement can become
uncontrollable and the wheelchair may stop
suddenly, which can lead to a collision or to you
falling out.
– Never apply the wheel locks while you are
moving.
WARNING!
Risk due to wheelchair being out of control
– The wheel locks must be operated
simultaneously.
– Do not apply the wheel locks to slow down the
wheelchair.
– Do not lean on the wheel locks for support or
transfer.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
The wheel locks will not operate correctly unless
there is sufficient air in the tires.
– Ensure the correct tire pressure, 3.10 Tires,
page 29.

CAUTION!
Risk of pinching or crushing
There may be a very small gap between the rear
wheel and the wheel lock with the risk that you
could trap your fingers.
– Keep your fingers away from movable parts
when using the wheel locks, always keep your
hand on the wheel locks lever.
The distance between the wheel locks shoe and the
tire can be adjusted. The adjustment must be carried
out by a qualified technician/dealer.
