palm of your hands. After the wheelchair is slowed down this way, you
can then apply both wheel locks by pushing the brake levers forward.
The wheelchair is now safely held in place.
•
The distance between the pivot bolt and the tyre cover must be
X= 16 mm at the narrowest point when the braking mechanism is
opened to its maximum position (Fig. 27).
•
To adjust the distance, loosen the two fixing screws on the brake
mounting.
•
You can then slide the braking system along the mounting into the
correct position.
•
The braking bolt must be aligned horizontally so that it is parallel
to the ground surface.
•
Then re-tighten both Allen hexagon screws again
•
Make sure that the brake fully locks into place when the lever is
operated and that it does not snap back.
The compact brakes only operate on one driving wheel each!
With pneumatic tyres, always ensure that both driving wheels have the
same tyre pressure to achieve good directional stability!
After completion of the setting process, retighten the loosened bolts
and test the brakes!
Adjustment of the brakes should be carried out
by specialist trained staff. However, if you have
enough experience, you can also carry out this
work yourself. Nevertheless, please keep in mind
that incorrectly adjusted brakes may have life
threatening consequences.
