6.11.3 Performing a Brake Setting function Check

During the functional test of the brake settings, please observe the following points and com-
plete the tasks described below:
Steps:
1. Secure the unlocking lever in position 1 (drive mode).
2. While driving straight ahead at approximately 6 km/h, release the joystick in its front-most
position.
3. If the wheelchair maintains its current direction during the delay, repeat the test on a slope
of 10% unless this is limited by information on the nameplate.
4. If the wheelchair leaves the current direction, adjust the Bowden cable for the opposite side.
The adjustment process is described in Section 6.11.2 under "Adjusting an over-tightened
Bowden cable".
5. If the wheelchair tracks properly in both cases, conduct the following test on an even surface:
a. Pull the release bolt on the wheel lock housing. The release lever automatically moves
forward to position 2. It must not be possible to push the wheelchair when the lever is in
this position. If the drive wheels do not lock, loosen the Bowden cable for the side with
the wheel that still rotates by ½ turn (see Section 6.11.2 under "Adjusting an over-tight-
ened Bowden cable").
b. Move the release lever to position 3 (push mode). The wheelchair can be pushed easily,
even when turning. If the wheelchair pulls to one side, tighten the Bowden cable on the
corresponding side. The adjustment process is described in Section 6.11.2 under "Ad-
justing a slack Bowden cable".
6. If no deviations are found during the tests described above, no readjustment is necessary.
