4.10 Brake
4.10.1 Safety information
The THERAPY WHEELCHAIR may not
let itself be pushed, when the brakes
are activated.
In order to prevent unintentional
curves when braking down the THER-
APY WHEELCHAIR on slopes, both
brake levers are to be activated si-
multaneously.
Remark:
The braking effect is dependent on:
– the condition of the tyres,
– the condition and fixing of the
brakes,
– the brake lever setting,
– the quality of the road surface.
Attention:
The brake performance decreases
!
when:
the brake pads are worn down,
the brake lever is loose,
the drum brake is defective.
Immediately have the brakes adjust-
ed by an authorised specialised work-
shop when the braking function less-
ens.
