Operating the brakes

CAUTION
 The brakes are not used to slow down the wheelchair during movements. Use the brake only
to prevent the wheelchair from unintended movements.

mud, ...). Check the condition of the tires before each use.
 The brakes are adjustable and can wear. Check the operation of the brakes before each use.

release both brakes simultaneously.
