5.10 BRAKES

5. 10.1 Adjusting the brake

Tool:
5 mm Allen key
Check that the tyres are inflated to the correct air
pressure as indicated on the side of the tyre.
Then use an Allen key to loosen the screw (A) and
slide the brake and brake attachement to the desired
position and tighten. The correct distance between
the brake pin (B) and the tyre, when the brake is
disengaged, is approx. 15 mm. The brake pin should
be in a horizontal position.
Incorrect adjustments or use of the brake can
reduce their performance.

5. 10. 2 Using the standard brake

Apply the brake by pushing the brake lever forwards
until it reaches the stopper.
Release the brake by pulling back the brake lever.
Take care not to trap your fingers between brake
shaft and tyre.
When the standard brake is applied, the brake lever can
be pushed backwards without disengaging the brakes.
This is to prevent the brakes from accidentally dis-
engaging during transfer to and from the wheelchair.
