Brake Adjustment
During assembly or routine maintenance, it is important to check
the tightness of the braking mechanism. The pressure of the braking
mechanism on the brake wheel should be enough so that the brake
wheel does not turn and is not overly tight when the hand brake is fully
squeezed.
• If the brakes are too loose, they will not function properly.
• If the brakes are too tight, they may cause a “squeaking sound” while
the knee walker is in use.
Adjustments are required if the brakes are either too loose or too tight.
The brake tightness can be adjusted with the nuts at either end of the
brake cable.
• Turning the screw clockwise will loosen the brake.
• Turning the screw counterclockwise will tighten the brake.
