Furthermore, please note that very little force is required for
activating and deactivating the brake. If necessary, a brake lever
extension can be fitted.
Visual control
Check that the parking brake is correctly positioned. The brake is
correctly adjusted if the brake shoe does not press more than 4 mm
into the tire when the brake is on.
Function control
Place the loaded wheelchair on a ramp with a 7° slope with the par-
king brake on. The wheelchair must not move. Carry out this check
with the wheelchair both facing down the ramp and facing up the
ramp.
