Inlet

Now the tension spring is positioned in the inlet
so that the end eyelet of the tension spring is
positioned precisely over the hole in which the
M6 fixing screw shall then be screwed in to.
Once the inlet and the tension spring have
been positioned correctly, the M6 fixing screw
(with both radius discs and the footstep pin)
(AF 4 mm) is crewed into the new height posi-
tion through the inlet and the end eyelet of the
tension spring.
Finally, reattach the anti-tipping support to the
product as described in Chapter 25.2.
25.4 Safety instructions
The anti-tipping support is designed ex-
clusively to minimise the risk of tipping over
backwards. It is not suitable for reducing the
risk of tipping forwards or to the side. There is
no safety equipment on offer for minimizing
these risks. For this reason, handling these
risks need to be learnt in cooperation with your
therapists and doctors.
Before using the product, each time after
loading the anti-tipping supports and after
every adjustment to the product, make sure
that the anti-tipping supports are fully func-
tional. In this case, it must not be possible to
swivel the anti-tipping supports to the side
when in operating position without having to
unlock them first.
The lower edge of the anti-tipping wheels
may not be more than 5 cm from the ground. If
a larger gap is required or necessary, then you
need to work with your therapists and doctors
to practice and learn to handle the increased
risk of tipping.
If the functional capability of the anti-tip-
ping supports is no longer ensured or if you are
in any doubt about their flawless function, have
them checked by your rehabilitation specialist
dealer and repaired before any further use.
Otherwise there is an increased risk or falling
of getting injured.
26 Brakes
26.1 Knee lever brake
26.1.1 Opening and closing the brake
The knee lever brake can be equipped with dif-
ferent brake levers, such as, e.g. standard
brake lever, long brake lever, flared brake lever
and flip-down brake handle. The brake lever
can be mounted in the standard position, or
low. The knee lever brake can also be selected
with one-hand operation, in which case only
one brake lever is present on the right or left.
However, operation is identical for all of these
brake levers.
