PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

The correct lock of the parking brake depends on its adjustment and posi�on. The
handle of the wheel lock should be posi�oned so that the brake shoe blocks the
wheel firmly and the lever does not face excessive resistance.
• In case of excessive resistance, pull the handle slightly forward by twis�ng
off the locking screw which is located on the other side of the parking brake
(from the inside of the wheelchair). Set the brake shoe in such posi�on that
it blocks the wheel easily without excessive resistance.
• When the parking brake shoe does not touch or lock the wheel sufficiently,
follow the above instruc�on by moving the handle in the opposite direc�on.
