Activate parking brakes and use
When delivered, the fixing brakes are correctly adjusted
to the configuration condition. If you changed the position
of the wheel, the position of the brake might need to be
adjusted as well.
Make sure, that the screws are inserted and tigh-
tened properly!
Push the brake lever forwards in order to apply and activate
the brakes until it engages. Pull the lever towards you in
order to loosen the brake.
Make sure the fixing brakes are locked by moving
the wheelchair.
Adjusting and using hand brake (optional)
When delivered, the hand brake is adjusted properly for
the accompanying person.
To do so, remove the
screws on the bottom of
the brake (see picture) and
move the whole unit, so
that the space between the
pivot bolt and the wheel is
as big as 10 mm. Tighten
the two screws for an op-
timal setting.
If the braking effect isn't
strong enough the ad-
justing screw may be
loosened or tightened for
less braking effect, loosen
the lock nut before adjus-
ting the braking effect as
explained. Make sure to
tighten the lock nut after
adjusting, hold the adjus-
ting screw with pliers.
In order to brake the wheelchair, the accompanying per-
son must pull the braking handles towards the pushing
handles. You can lock the braking handles by pushing
the lock flap down with your finger until it locks, in order
to lock the brakes for example: for parking, to unlock and
release the brakes, simply pull the flap back.
If you want to get up from the wheelchair you must
activate the fixing brakes additional to the hand
brake.
Using the tilting aid
To manoevre around kerb
stones and over thresholds step
heavily (with the left or right foot)
on the tilting aid whilst simul-
taneously pushing down the
handles.
This ensures that lifting the front
of the wheelchair is easier.
Ensure that you are standing
securely.
Folding
You can fold this wheelchair with only one pull, for easy
transportation and storage in a car.
To do so, please remove the optional seat cushion and foot-
rests first, then pull up the straps attached to the seat – done!
