Readjusting The Knee Lever Wheel Lock; Legrests - Otto Bock Dino 3 Instructions For Use Manual

7.5.3 Readjusting the knee lever wheel lock

The knee lever wheel lock must be readjusted in case of reduced or uneven braking action – e.g. when the gap
between the wheel lock bolt and the tyre is more than 5 mm.
The knee lever wheel lock is readjusted on a clamping mechanism directly on the frame tube (see fig. 27).
1) Loosen the screw connections on the clamp bracket of the knee lever wheel lock (see fig. 27, item 1).
2) Shift the clamp bracket, which is continuously adjustable on the main frame. When the wheel lock is not
engaged, the gap between the tyre and the wheel lock bolt must be max. 5 mm (see fig. 28).
3) Firmly tighten the screw connections on the clamp bracket of the knee lever wheel lock (see fig. 27, item 1).
INFORMATION: Adjust the left and right knee lever wheel locks so that both have the same braking
effect.
