Operating the brakes

WARNING
 The brakes are not used to slow down the wheelchair during movements. Use the brake only
to prevent the wheelchair from unintended movements.
 Good operation of the brakes is influenced by wear and contamination of the tires (water, oil,
mud, ...). Check the condition of the tires before each use.
 The brakes are adjustable and can wear. Check the operation of the brakes before each use.
 Make sure the wheelchair is on a flat horizontal surface before releasing the brakes. Never
release both brakes simultaneously.
