Wheel lock lever extension
The longer lever helps to minimise the effort needed to set the wheel locks.
The wheel lock lever extension is screwed to the wheel locks. By raising
this, it can be flipped forward (Fig. 6.2.3).
CAUTION!
Mounting the wheel lock too close towards the wheel will result in a
higher effort to operate. This might cause the wheel lock extension
lever to break!
WARNING!
When transferring to and from the wheelchair, if you lean on the extension
lever of the wheel lock, the extension lever may break! Splashing water from
tyres 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 brake lever extension for the wheel locks to break!
• The mounting bolts for the brakes 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 drum brakes simultaneously to guarantee the
control of the driving direction!
• Drum brakes can only be used as dynamic brakes to stop the wheelchair
when driving.
• Always engage the wheel locks to secure the wheelchair during a short or
long stop, or for transfer.
