Drum Brakes; Footrests - Quickie Xenon2 SA Notice D'utilisation

WARNING!
Leaning onto the wheel lock extension lever while transferring will cause
the lever to break! Splashing water from tires might cause the wheel lock to
malfunction.
Compact wheel lock
Compact wheel locks are underneath the seat sling and are operated by
pulling the wheel locks towards the rear, in the direction of the tyre. For the
wheel locks to operate correctly, they must be pulled fully against the stops,
(Fig. 6.2.4).
CAUTION!
• Incorrect mounting of the wheel lock will result in a higher effort to
operate. This might cause the wheel lock lever extension to break!
• The mounting bolts of the brake must not be loosened and/ or
re-tightened.

Drum brakes

Drum brakes permit safe and convenient braking for an attendant.
They can also be set with the aid of a locking lever (1) to prevent rolling.
The lever must snap audibly into place.
Drum brakes are not influenced by air pressure inside the tyres (Fig.6..2.5).
WARNING!
• Drum brakes must only be adjusted by authorised dealers
• Always operate the two brakes simultaneously to guarantee the control
of the driving direction!
• Drum brakes can only be used as a dynamic brake to stop the
wheelchair while driving.
• Always engage the wheel locks to secure the wheelchair during a short
or long stop, or for transfer.

6.3 Footrests

Various footboards are available on the Xenon
up to make it easier to transfer to/from the chair. They are described
individually.
Footrest and swing away latch
When fitting the footrests these are fitted in the swung-away position (Fig.
6.7). Then simply turn them inwards until the interlock engages (1). To
remove the footrests, use the lever (2) and swing the footrest outwards and
lift off. Check that the footrest is correctly engaged.
The footrest will be limited by the hanger stop (Fig.6.3.1) in a 90° position.
This ensures that the break will not be inadvertantly released when the
hanger is swung out.
