Besides the functions provided by manual brakes, the
optional hub brakes provide slow down (for example,
on a slope) and improve safety because they are still
efficient when you have a flat tyre!
To slow down gradually pull the lever upwards. To
lock the brake in parking position, with the lever tigh-
tened, push the lock to engage it in the notches of the
brake handle;then pull the lock up to unlock. To adjust
braking:turn the screw counterclockwise to increase
braking force and turn clockwise to reduce it.
The specific adjustments of hub brakes must
always be performed by your Dealer.
Always operate the two brakes simultaneously
and do not take slopes exceeding 5% to ensure
perfect control of the wheelchair steering!
