10.Brake
!
After any adjustment, repair and maintenance of the wheelchair, check all the
assembly and fastening parts before using, or it may cause damage and harm.
10.1.Electromagnetic brake lever
10.2.Electromagnetic brake system
The brake lever is used to "lock" and "unlocked" the wheelchair which has two operating
modes:
●
The "locked" state. The clutch in the electromagnetic brake is closed resulting in
the drive wheels being locked. With the levers in this position, the wheelchair is
operated under power and controlled with the joystick.
●
The "unlocked" state. The clutch in the electromagnetic brake is not closed
resulting in the drive wheels being unlocked. With the levers in this position, the
wheelchair is able to freewheel allowing it to be moved manually and not by the
joystick.
!
Attention
Before using the wheelchair, the brake lever must be in the "locked" state, and the
electromagnetic brake is used to prevent the rear wheels from rotating. This will prevent
accidents and personal injury.
Without a Carer being present and in full manual control of the wheelchair, don’t use or sit
on the wheelchair when the brake lever is in the "unlocked" state. It will freewheel and the
brakes will not be applied. This is particular dangerous on a slope and can result in
personal injury and damage to the wheelchair.
