Adjusting and using the parking brake
Upon delivery, the parking brake is correctly adjusted
according to the configuration status. If you have made
changes to the wheel position, the brake adjustment
may need to be changed.
To do this, remove both screws on the underside of the
respective brake (photo 13) and push the complete unit
onto the guide such that there is a distance of 12 mm
between the brake bolt and the tire (photo 14). Retigh-
ten both screws and the parking brake is now optimally
adjusted.

Ensure that all screws are reinserted and tightened!
To use the parking brake, press the brake lever firmly
from the front until it noticeably clicks into place – the
parking brake is now engaged (photo 15).
To release, pull the brake lever towards you and the par-
king brake is unlocked (photo 16).

Adjusting and using
the hand brake (optional)
Upon delivery, the optional hand brake is correctly adjus-
ted for the attendant. If bra-
king is insufficient, this can
be increased by unscrewing
the adjusting screw and de-
creased by screwing in the
adjusting screw (photo 19).
For adjustment, first remo-
ve the locking nut and then
perform the corresponding
adjustment; thereafter retighten the locking nut and in
doing so, use pliers to hold the adjusting screw. To bra-
ke the wheelchair by the attendant, pull up both brake
handles at the hand grip.
To apply the brakes (such as for parking), you can lock the
brake handle in the braking position by simply pushing
the locking mechanism forwards with your finger until it
snaps into place; to unlock, push the locking mechanism
back (photo 20+21).

If you need to step away from the wheelchair while it is
occupied, it is essential to additionally apply the parking
brake.
