6.9 Brake adjustment

The parking brake is a very important piece of equipment that
requires careful adjustment to ensure it functions correctly.
Fig.73
The position of the brake is strictly related to the rear wheel.
To adjust the brake:
loosen the headless bolt "G" (4 mm Allen key) on the support
"S".
move the brake through the support slide the brake rod
forward or backward until its braking bar "P" is at a distance
"D" of 0.5 cm from the tyre (0.6 cm with anti-puncture tyre)
(see fig. 92).
Make this adjustment with the wheel on and the brake
disengaged.
Once reached the correct position, tighten the headless bolt
"G"
Fig. 74
Make sure that the bolts are securely tightened.
Check the correct functioning of the brakes by
conducting specific brake tests.
Check that all parts are secure by pushing hard on the
brake lever (while braking). If the brake rod should move
or slip during this test, check that the screws are
tightened fully.
If the wheelchair rear height or setting is changed
the brakes need to be adjusted.
The correct functioning of the brake also depends on
the correct rear tyre pressure being maintained.
(see chapter 2.6 "Tyre pressure").
