Brakes
Combined braking
All models have standard
braking equipment. Brake used
by the carer is a braking bar
located on the back of the chair
beneath the push handle. The
brake operates the disc brakes
on each wheel. NB: some
chairs can be equipped with
separate push handles but the
braking system is the same.
Brake bar: The brake is
manoeuvred by pulling up the
brake handle (1) against the
push bar (2) see picture 4a.
Parking brake: Pull the
braking handle (1) see
picture 4 a up towards the
push bar (2) and push the
lock sleeve forward (3) so
that the handle is locked in
the braking position, see
picture 4b
NB: One lock on each side,
make sure that the brake
sleeve is securely pushed
on so that the wheelchair is
safely braked.

Parking brake on models fitted with 24” wheels:
On model 500 there is a
separate parking brake for
the user. This brake is fitted
on the wheel rim, see
picture 4c. At braking pull
the lever (6) forward from
the wheel. There is a
braking lever on each side.
Adjusting disc brakes:
The disc brakes can be
adjusted in the following
manner:
See picture 4d, loosen the
nut (8) a couple of turns. Turn
the screw (9) so that suitable
braking power is achieved.
Test the braking on the
driving handle and adjust so
that both wheels have the
same braking power and then
tighten the nut (8).
NB: To try out the braking
power the wheels must be
fitted.
