6.2 Braking during use

Whilst you are moving, you brake by transferring force to the
handrim with your hands.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
If you apply the parking brakes while you are
moving, the direction of movement can become
uncontrollable and the wheelchair may stop
suddenly, which can lead to a collision or to you
falling out.
– Never apply the parking brakes while you are
moving.
WARNING!
Risk of falling out of the wheelchair
If the wheelchair is rapidly decelerated by an
assistant pulling at the push handles, the user may
fall out of the wheelchair.
– Always apply the pelvic belt if present.
– Make sure your assistant has been trained
individually in transferring occupied wheelchairs.
CAUTION!
Risk of burning your hands
If you brake for a long time, a lot of frictional heat
is produced at the handrims (especially MaxGrepp
and Supergripp).
– Wear suitable gloves.
1. Hold the handrims and press evenly with both hands until
the wheelchair stops.
