3.5 Assembly Group Brakes

3.5.1 General Information brake

(1+2) Every wheelchair is equipped with two
wheel locks. They consist of brake pressing
bolt (A), brake lever (B) (if necessary, also with
an extension) and adjustment screws (C).
Wheel looks only serve the purpose of
putting the wheels in a resting position. They
are not made to brake the Wheelchair while
driving.
The correct function of the brake can be
impaired by :
• too low air pressure,
• wetness, dirt, snow, ice, etc.
• worn tires and
• too big of a distance between brake
pressing bolt and tire.
Check the fixture of the brake pressing bolt on
the inner side of the wheelchair regularly (D).
After every change made on the rear
wheels, reset the brakes. The wheelchair with
passenger must stand securely, with drawn
brake, on a ramp with a 12% descent.
When the brake is open, the maximum dis-
tance between brake pressing bolt and tire is:
standard knee lever brake
pull-to-lock brake
knee lever brake with rollback blocking
cable brake
(technical changes reserved).

3.5.2 Standard wheel lock

(2) Check the air pressure in the driving wheels first (required details on the tire cover). To ad-
just the brake loosen both screws (A) on both sides, place brake in the appropriate position and
retighten the screws (A).
