9.4. Adjusting the locking brakes
41.
If the brakes only work insufficiently or unevenly, contact your specia-
list dealer. He will check the brakes as follows:
•
If there is uneven wear of the tyre tread, or if the tread is no longer
visible, change the tyre.
•
If the profile is no longer visible on the brake pin, change the brake
pin.
•
Move the brake system into position that provides safe braking in
all driving situations and is operable.
•
To adjust the distance, loosen the two hexagon socket screws on
the brake bracket (Fig. 41).
•
Then slide the brake system along the bracket into the correct
position.
•
Tighten the two screws again.
•
Check that the brake fully engages when the lever is operated and
does not snap back.
•
Then tighten the screws again and carry out a brake test!

9.5. Adjusting the drum board
To adjust the brake, contact your specialist dealer.
Remember that incorrectly adjusted brakes can have
life-threatening consequences.
To achieve an optimal braking effect, the braking force is adjusted at
the adjusting screw. The braking force is increased by unscrewing the
adjusting screw and decreased by screwing it in (Fig. 42).
•
Please turn out the adjusting screw until you hear grinding noises
on the turning wheel.
•
Then turn the adjusting screw in until the grinding of the wheel
disappear. The wheel then runs freely.
•
After finishing the adjustment, fix the adjusting screw by tightening
the lock nut.
9.6. Adjusting the anti-tip rollers
Anti-tip castors prevent the wheelchair from tipping over backwards.
•
adjust the distance between the wheel and the ground to approx.
30 - 50mm.
•
pull back the disc and move the anti-tip roller along the guide (Fig.
43).
The anti-tip castors are particularly recommended for inexperienced
wheelchair users or those with leg amputations.
If the user does not need anti-tip wheels, you can push it into the top
position or pull it out completely (see chapter 4.9.2).
For safety reasons, always use the anti-tip rollers in
pairs!
