• Drive up to the kerb carefully and ensure that you can clear the
height of the kerb with the leg rests.
• Be sure to only drive directly at the kerb.
• The kerb should only be surmounted in the slowest driving mode.
• Carefully make contact with the kerb using the kerb climber and
slowly accelerate until the front wheels have surmounted the
obstacle.
• Then continue to drive slowly until the rear wheels have also
surmounted the obstacle.
6.19. Mechanical parking brake
The mechanical parking brake allows you to park the electric wheelchair
even when the drives are decoupled and secure it against accidentally
rolling away.
Using the parking brake
51.
To use the brake just push the brake lever forward until it snaps (fig. 51).
To loosen the brake, pull the lever backwards.
Adjustment of the parking brake
If you should notice any unusual braking behaviour you have to do the
following:
• Check the tread depth. Pay attention whether ther is even abrasion.
If the tread depth is > than 1 mm, the tyres must be replaced by a
qualified mobility dealer.

• Now check the adjustments of the brake. It must be adjusted in the
way that there is a distance between the running surface of the wheel
and the pivot bolt of 15 mm when brakes are open. The pivot bolt
must be horizontal e.g. parallel to the ground.
• After loosening the Allen screw with a hexagon socket (5 mm) on the
brake mount (fig. 52), you can position the brake correctly.
• The parking brakes effect only one driving wheel at a time.
• Once the adjustment process is completed, firmly tighten the
loosened screw up again and carry out a brake test!
• The brake system should be adjusted only by a qualified mobility
dealer.
