PARKING BRAKE

To lock the wheels, push the lever forward un�l the wheel is fully blocked
(separately for le� and right wheel). Please, note that the parking brake only
serves to lock the wheels when the wheelchair is at a complete stop.
PARKING BRAKES ADJUSTMENT
The proper func�oning of the parking brake depends on its adjustment and
posi�on. It should be mounted in adequate distance from the back wheel, so that
it is blocked firmly and the lever does not face excessive resistance.
• In case of excessive resistance, move the parking brake towards the front using
the locking screws. Set the parking brake in a posi�on that allows it to block
the wheels easily and without excessive resistance.
• When the parking brake does not touch or lock the wheel properly, follow the
above instruc�on by moving the handle in the opposite direc�on.

brake, let go of the levers. Perform this ac�vity smoothly and with appropriate
force.
• The brakes are equipped with parking locks. In order to use them, squeeze it
and pull out the locking element.
