Height adjustment of handles
To adjust the height of the handles, loosen the clamping
screw. Then the height can be adjusted to anywhere
between 92 -103 cm (Picture 19+20).
Tighten the clamping screw!
Using and activating fixing brakes
When delivered, the fixing brakes are correctly adjusted
to the configuration condition. If you changed the posi-
tion of the wheel, the position of the brake might need
to be adjusted as well. To do so, remove the screws on
the bottom of the brake (Picture 21) and move the whole
unit, so that the space between the pivot bolt and the
wheel is as big as 10 mm (Picture 22). Tighten the two
screws for an optimal setting.
Make sure, that the screws are inserted and tigh-
tened properly!
To use the fixing brakes push the brake lever forwards in
order to apply and activate the brakes (Picture 23) until
it engages, now is the fixing brakes activated. Pull the
lever towards you in order to loosen the brake (Picture
24).
Make sure the fixing brakes are locked by moving
the wheelchair.
Adjusting and using hand brake (optional)
When delivered, the hand brake is adjusted properly for
the accompanying person.
If the braking effect isn't strong enough the adjusting
screw may be loosened or tightened for less braking
effect (Picture 25), loosen the lock nut before adjusting
the braking effect as explained. Make sure to tighten
the lock nut after adjusting, hold the adjusting screw
with pliers.
In order to brake the wheelchair, the accompanying per-
son must pull the braking handles towards the pushing
handles. You can lock the braking handles by pushing
the lock flap down with your finger until it locks, in order
to lock the brakes for example: for parking (Picture 26),
to unlock and release the brakes, simply pull the flap
back (Picture 27).
If you want to get up from the wheelchair you must
activate the fixing brakes additional to the hand
brake.
