Quickie Life Rev.G
Wheel Locks (Fig.6.01-6.02)
Your wheelchair is equipped with
two wheel locks. They are applied
directly against the tyres. To
engage, press both brake levers
forward against the stops. To
release the locks, pull the levers
back to their original positions.
WARNING!
Braking power will decrease with:
Incorrect fitting and adjustment
of the brakes.
Tyre pressure too low.
Worn tyre tread
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 re-adjust, loosen the
screw and set the appropriate gap. Then re-tighten the screw
(Fig. 6.01, 6.02).
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check the wheel lock
gap and re-adjust if necessary.
Brake Lever Extension
The longer lever helps to minimise
the effort needed to set the wheel
locks.
The brake lever extension is
screwed to the brakes. By raising
this, it can be flipped forward
(Fig. 6.05).
CAUTION !
Mounting the wheel lock too close towards 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.
Incorrect mounting of the wheel lock will result in a higher effort
to operate.
This might cause the wheel lock extension lever to break.
Compact wheel lock (Fig. 6.06)
Compact wheel locks are
underneath the seat sling and are
operated by pulling the wheel locks
towards the rear, in the direction of
the tyre. For the wheel locks to
operate correctly, they must be
pulled fully against the stops.
CAUTION!
Incorrect mounting of the wheel lock will result in a higher
effort to operate. This might cause the wheel lock lever
extension to break!
The mounting bolts of the brake must not be loosened and/
or re-tightened.

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.6.04).
WARNING!
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.
