Brake lever for user
With the brake levers for the driver
(fig. 35) a metered braking of the driv-
ing speed (operating brake) is possi-
ble.
By locking this brake the wheelchair
is to be secured against unintentional
rolling off (parking brake).
Operating brake
The braked of the wheelchair can be
achieved over the handrims.
The slow down phase can also be
braked with the operating brake.
Press the two brake levers evenly only
slightly to the front, this brakes the
wheelchair in a metered fashion.
☞
Note:
The braking effect depends upon:
– the condition of the tyres,
– the condition and attachment of
the brakes,
– the brake lever adjustment,
– the road condition.
