Brake Lever Extension
The longer lever helps to minimise
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 Brakes
Compact brakes are underneath
the seat sling and are operated by
pulling the brakes 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).

Drum Brakes

Drum brakes permit safe and convenient braking for an
atten dant. They can also be set with the aid of a locking
lever (1) to prevent rolling. This lever must snap audibly
into place. Drum brakes do not independent on the aid of
air pressure inside the tires. Your wheelchair cannot be
moved when the drum brakes are set, (Fig.6.6.1).

Angle-Adjustable Footboard
The footboard can be flipped up to make it easier to transfer to
and from the chair, (Fig.6.8 - 6.10).
It can be adjusted to alter the angle to the ground.
Tighten screw (1) on the outside. By loosening the clips (2) the
footboard can be moved to three positions both forwards and
backwards. By adjusting the set screw (3) the footboard can be
changed to a horizontal position. To do this, the footboard must
be flipped up. Make sure that after any adjustment work, all
screws are tightened correctly (see the page on torque). Ensure
that you maintain the minimum gap to the floor (2.5 cm).

For users with longer legs, the leg support can be lowered to
the appropriate level by using the screws. Loosen the screws,
push the tubes to the desired position and then re-tighten the
