Brake Lever Extension
The longer lever helps to minimise the effort needed to set
the wheel locks.
The brake lever extension is screwed to the brakes. By
raising this, it can be flipped forward. (Fig. 11).
CAUTION!
Mounting the wheel lock too close toward the wheel
will result in a higher effort to operate. This might
cause the wheel lock extension lever to break!
WARNING!
Leaning onto the brake lever extension while transferring
will cause the lever to break! Splashing water from tyres
might cause the wheel lock to malfunction.
Compact Brakes
Compact brakes are underneath the seat sling and are
operated by pulling the brakes towards the rear, in the
direction of the tyre. For the brakes to operate correctly,
they must be pulled fully against the stops, (Fig.12).
CAUTION!
Incorrect mounting of the wheel lock will result in a higher
effort to operate.
This might cause the brake lever extension to break!
Drum Brakes
Drum brakes permit safe and convenient braking for an
attendant.
They can also be applied with the aid of a locking lever
The locking lever must snap audibly into place.
Performance of the drum brakes is not dependant on the
air pressure inside the tyres.
The wheelchair cannot be pushed when the drum brakes
are set.
WARNING!
Drum brakes should only be adjusted by authorised
dealers.
