Pushing and braking

Pushing and braking by an attendant:
If the wheelchair is steered by the attendant, the atten-
dant can use the available drum brake as a driving and
parking brake. This is especially an advantage for navi-
gating slopes. The attendant operates the wheelchair by
pushing on the provided push handles. The brakes can
be operated a little at a time during operation by pulling
on the brake lever more or less depending on the need.
To park, the brakes are locked on both sides by pushing
the brake lever. Then push the locking lever on the brake
down so that it locks the brake lever. The brake lever can
now be released, and it remains in its position. To release
the parking brake, press the brake lever once.

Drive Medical GmbH & Co. KG | As per: 28.06.2023 | Errors and alterations excepted
Operating and braking
without an attendant:
The person sitting in the
wheelchair can operate
the wheelchair himself/
herself with the hand rim.
He or she can also stop
the wheelchair using the
hand rim.
The anti-tipping wheels pre-
vent the wheelchair from
tipping over backwards.
They also serve to facili-
tate tilting by an atte dant.
The height of the wheels
can be adjusted.
Pull the silver-colored disc
towards yourself and slide
the tubing along the brack-
et up or down.
The tilt aids help the atten-
dant to tilt the wheelchair
more easily and thus move
over obstacles more easi-
ly.
First push the anti-tipping
wheels into the highest po-
sition.
Step on the lever with your
foot and balance with the
push handle.

Parking brake

The parking brake enables the user to securely park the
wheelchair. Once the wheelchair is stationary, activate
the parking brake (tire brake) (pic. 31). Press the lever for-
ward until it locks in place by itself.
Now the wheelchair is stable and you can turn or simply
just park. You release the parking brake by pulling the
lever back (pic. 32).

Putting the wheels on

Adjusting the brakes

Adjustments to the brake should be performed by trained
professionals. If you have suffi cient experience, you can
also perform this work yourself.

Brake adjustment

Push the brakes into the correct position. Then screw the
screws back in securely and test the function. You should
not be able to push the wheelchair when the brakes are
activated.
Before you take the drive
wheels off , secure the
wheelchair against tipping.
Press on the black knob
on the quick-release axle
to release the connection.
Then pull the drive wheel
out.
The interval between
the center mounting bolt
and the tire cover must
be 10 mm at the narrow-
est place when the brake
mechanism is opened at
its maximum.
To adjust/correct the in-
terval, loosen both of the
screws on the alignment
bar of the parking brake.
