Brakes
The brakes are parking brakes that work by directly blocking the
rear wheels with a braking pulley pressing against the tyre. To
brake the walking aid, pull the brake levers away from the frame
until they come to a definite stop. In this position the brakes are
self-locking and it should not be possible to push the walker. The
brakes are released by pushing the brake levers back towards
the frame.
Drag brakes
The drag brakes work by the roller at the back pressing against
the tyre. First loosen the nut on the Allen screw. Then turn the
Allen screw to press the roller against the tyre. Tighten the nut in
the opposite direction. Use a method of trial and error to find the
correct pressure against the tyre. Test the drag brake function.
Wheel swivel / locks
To activate or de-activate the
swivel locks pull and turn the pin
locks 90º.
Non-reverse brake
The non-reverse brake works by the grooved side pressing
against the tyre preventing the wheel from going backwards.
The non-reverse brake can be engaged / disengaged through
the snap lock on the upper side of the brake housing. Finally test
the function of the non-reverse brake.
