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.9).
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.
options - Footplates
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.10).
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 11).
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.
