5.8.1. Operating the parking brake

The parking brake must only be used for parking. To slow down while
driving, you must only use the drive wheel handrims or the optional
drum brakes for attendant.
• When braking using the handrims, hold the highest point. First let
the handrims slide through your hands.
21. • Slowly increase the braking force by exerting gripping force on the
handrims, until you come to an abrupt stop.
• As soon as the wheelchair has stopped, push both brake levers
forward (Fig. 21). The wheelchair is securely braked when it can no
longer be pushed and both brake levers are pushed forward to the
stop position.
Pull the lever towards you to release the brake.

Never use the brake lever as a support - e.g. when
transferring or standing up -, otherwise there is a
risk of tipping over and falling! The lever could
break off!
The parking brake - with or without brake lever
extension - only works on one drive wheel and
must therefore always be used on both sides!

5.8.2. Adjusting the parking brakes

Adjusting the brakes must only be carried out by
trained personnel. Please bear in mind that if
the brakes are set incorrectly this can have life-
threatening consequences.
The drum brake does not replace
the parking brake.
• Mount the brake in a position which is operable and offers secure
braking in all driving situations.
• To adjust the gap, undo the two socket screws on the brake bracket
(Fig. 22).
• Then push the brake system to the correct position along the
bracket.
• Finally re-tighten the two socket screws.
• Make sure that the brakes click into place when operating the lever
and that they don't snap back.
