5.12. Height of the front wheel
The height of the front wheel can be adjusted in four steps. Hold
the hexagon socket screw (Fig. 23), loosen the nut on the opposite
side and pull out the wheel axle (screw). Place the front wheel at the
desired height and tighten the screw and nut again. Note that both
front wheels are mounted at the same height
23.
5.13. Wheelbase extension
(optional)
The wheelbase extension improves stability and thus reduces the risk of
tipping over backwards.
However, this makes it more difficult to overcome obstacles or to
tip over.

5.14. Parking brakes
The Pyro Light is equipped with a knee lever brake that can be
operated by the occupant. This is only to be used for parking. It is
not suitable for braking the ride! The handrims are used for this
purpose and light pressure is applied to them with the palms of the
hands. When the wheelchair has been braked in this way, apply
both knee lever brakes by pushing the brake levers forward. The
wheelchair is now safely braked (Fig. 24).
25.
• To ensure a safe braking effect at all times, the knee lever brake can
be adjusted by changing the distance (Fig. 25.).
• To adjust the distance, loosen the two hexagon socket screws on the
brake bracket (Fig. 26).
• Then slide the brake system along the bracket into the correct
position.
• The brake bolt must be aligned horizontally, i.e. parallel to the
ground.
26.
• Finally, tighten both hexagon socket screws again.

• Make sure that the brake fully engages when the lever is operated
and does not snap back.
The adjustment on the brakes may only be
carried out by trained specialists. Bear in mind
that incorrectly adjusted brakes can have life
threatening consequences.
Never use the brake lever as a support
- e.g. when transferring or standing up - otherwise
there is a risk of tipping and falling! The lever could
break off!
The parking brake must not be used as a operating
brake, as there is a risk to life due to the fall risk
5.15. One-hand brake (optional)
With the one-hand brake you have a parking brake where you brake
both drive wheels by operating only one brake lever.
