Brakes

Drum Brakes (Fig. 4.4)
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. This lever must snap
audibly into place. Performance of the drum brakes is
not dependent on the air pressure inside the tires. Your
wheelchair cannot be moved when the drum brakes are
set.
CAUTION!
Drum brakes should only be adjusted by authorized
dealers.
