BRAKES

To apply the brake to the chair, move the lever (A)
forwards. To release the brake, move the lever
backwards (towards you).
Take care not to trap your fingers between
the brake shaft and tyre.
Adjusting the brake
1. Check that the tyres are inflated to the correct air
pressure (indicated on the tyre wall). Then, using
an Allen key, loosen the screw and slide the brake
to the desired position and tighten. The correct
distance between the brake shaft (B) and the tyre
is approx. 15 mm.
NB.
The brake must not be moved further than indi-
cated in the picture (C).
Incorrect adjustments or use of the brake can
reduce the effectiveness of the brake.
Free play
The lever of the brake where the handle is located,
have a free play. The lever folds up automatically
when the legrest have been swinged to its outward
position without activating the brake. To activate the
brake just press respectively pull at its most forward
respectively rear located position.
The reason behind is that when the legrests is
swinged to the side it will in some positions interfere
with the brake lever.
1. Apply the brakes when moving: pull both brake
handles upwards (squeeze the handles) and the
brake will be applied.
2. Lock the brakes: pull the brake handle upwards and
move the lock catch (A) upwards. Then release
the handle.
3. Release the brakes: pull the handle upwards and
the lock catch will release automatically.
Incorrect adjustments or use of the brake can
reduce the effectiveness of the brake.
