Adjusting the pressure brakes
The pressure brakes must be readjusted after
each re-fitting of a drive wheel.
Handling:
– Loosen the clamping screw (1, fig. 4) of
one pressure brake.
– Pre-set the pressure brake – Slide the brake
bolt of the non-activated pressure brake to
a point approx. 15mm to 20mm in front of
the drive wheel.
– Tighten clamping screw (1, fig. 4) securely.
– Adjust opposite pressure brakes as de-
scribed.
– Equally adjust both pressure brakes, taking
into account
• tyres of the driving wheels and
• tyre pressure and
• the weight of the person
adjust evenly. – Danger of accidents caused
by one sided braking effect!
☞
Note:
You will find the air pressure values for the
tyres for your wheelchair in the Technical
Specifications or the information given
for both sides of the wheels.
!
Caution:
It should not be possible to push the wheel-
chair forward when both brakes are
locked.
