Brakes
CAUTION!
Braking power can be
affected by incorrect fitting and
adjustment of the brakes, as well
as tyre pressure which is too low.
Wheel Locks
Your wheelchair is equipped with
two wheel locks. They are applied
directly against the tyres. To
engage, press both wheel lock
levers forward against the stops. To release the locks, pull the
levers back to their original positions.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tyre tread
• Tyre pressure that is too low
• Wet tyres
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks.
The wheel locks have not been
designed to be used as brakes for
a moving wheelchair. The wheel
locks should therefore never be
used to brake a moving wheelchair.
Always use the handrims for
braking. Make sure that the
interval between the tyres and
wheel locks complies with given
specifications. To readjust, loosen
screw and set the appropriate
interval. Then re-tighten the screw
(Fig. 6.3 and 6.4).
CAUTION!
After each adjustment of the rear
wheels, check the interval to the
wheel locks and readjust if
necessary.

Brake lever extension
The longer lever helps to minimize
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. 6.5).
CAUTION!
Mounting the wheel lock too close
towards the wheel will result in a higher effort to operate. This
might cause the brake lever extension to break!
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.
CAUTION!
Incorrect mounting of the wheel
lock will result in a higher effort to
operate.
This might cause the wheel lock
extension lever to break!
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 brakes to work
properly, this must be pulled until it reaches the stops, (Fig. 6.6).
