Locking the drum brakes
– Pull both brake levers evenly in order to
secure the wheelchair against uninten-
tional motion (fig. 4.2).
– Press the surface (A, fig. 4.2) of the lock-
ing latch down with one finger and let it
snap into place.
– Let go of the brake lever. – Depending on
the setting, the latching pawl will click
into the first or second latching position
and lock the brake.
☞
Note:
– It should not be possible to push the
wheelchair forward when both brakes are
locked.
– The brake must be readjusted by a spe-
cialist workshop if the third latching posi-
tion must be used in order to lock the
brake.
Loosen the drum brakes
Pull on both brake levers until the latching
pawls (A, fig. 4.2) jump out of the latching
position by themselves.
Release both brake levers. – The parking
brakes are release and the wheelchair ready
to go.
