DRUM BRAKES

Drum brakes permit safe and

convenient braking for an attendant.

They can also be set with the aid of a

locking lever (1) to prevent rolling. The

lever must snap audibly into place.

Drum brakes are not influenced by air

pressure inside the tyres. (Fig.10).

CAUTION!

• Drum brakes must only be adjusted

by authorised dealers

• Always operate the two brakes simultaneously to guarantee the

control of the driving direction!

• Drum brakes can only be used as a dynamic brake to stop the

wheelchair while driving.

• Always engage the wheel locks to secure the wheelchair during a

short or long stop, or for transfer.

Fig. 10

ONE-HAND OPERATION

Your wheelchair is equipped with two sets

of wheel locks that can be operated from

either the left or the right side. They are

applied directly against the tyres. To

engage, press the brake lever forward

against the stops (Fig. 11). To release the

locks, pull the lever back to its original

position.

Braking power will decrease with:

• Worn tyre tread

• Tyre pressure that is too low

• Wet tyres

• Improperly adjusted wheel locks.

The wheel locks

have not been

designed to be used

as brakes for a

moving wheelchair.

The wheel locks

should therefore

never be used to

brake a moving

wheelchair. Always

use the hand-rims

for braking. Make

sure that the gap

between the tyres

and wheel locks

complies with given specifications. To readjust, loosen the screw

and set the appropriate gap. Then re-tighten the screw (see the

page on torque) (Fig. 12).

CAUTION!

• After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel

lock gap and re-adjust if necessary.

• Mounting the wheel lock too close toward the wheel will result

in a higher effort to operate. This might cause the brake lever

extension to break! Leaning onto the brake lever extension

while transferring will cause the lever to break! Splashing

water from tyres might cause the wheel lock to malfunction.

FOOTPLATES:

The footplates can be flipped up to make it easier to transfer to/from

the chair.

Lower leg length:

For users with longer legs, the leg

support can be lowered to the appropriate

level by using the screws (1). Loosen the

screws, push the tubes to the desired

position and then re-tighten the screws

(see section on torque).

There must always be a minimum gap of

2.5 cm between the footplates and the

ground (Fig. 13).

Angle-adjustable footboard

This can be adjusted to alter the angle to

the ground. Release screw, pull it

inwards, set the desired angle and then

push it on. After making the adjustment,

re-tighten the screw.

Make sure that after any

adjustment work, all screws are tightened

correctly (see the page on torque).

Ensure that you maintain the minimum

gap to the floor (2.5 cm) (Fig. 14).

FOOTRESTS AND LATCH

The legrests can be swung inwards under

the seat sling or outwards. When fitting

the legrests, the footrests must be

pointing inwards or outwards. Then rotate

the legrest inwards, until it locks into

place. To remove, pull the lever (1), swing

the footplate inwards or outwards and

then lift the legrest out. Make sure that

the legrest is locked into place correctly,

(Fig 15).

CAUTION!

• The legrests must not be used to lift or to carry the wheelchair.

• When getting on or off the wheelchair, do not use the

footboards. These should be flipped up beforehand or the

footrest should be swung to the outside as far as possible.

OPTION ELEVATING LEG REST

(Fig 16-18)

To remove, pull the lever (1), swing the

footplate outwards and then lift the leg

rest out.

HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:

The lower leg length can be adjusted

infinitely by releasing the screw (2).

Adjust the suitable height and tighten the

screw again.

CAUTION!

The distance between the footplate

and the ground must be at least 40

mm.

ANGLE ADJUSTMENT:

Press the lever (3) downward with one

hand while supporting the leg rest with

the other hand to take the load off. When

a suitable angle is achieved, let go of the

lever and the legr est will lock into one of

the preset positions.
