4. Brake Operation & Brake Maintenance
The brakes are preset, and adjustment should only be necessary if the brakes no longer function cor-
rectly.
To apply the parking brakes, push the brake handle towards the front of the wheelchair. Push the
handle back to release the brakes. SEE PHOTO’S 6 AND 7
Adjustment is made to the brake by loosening the Allen key bolt heads and then sliding the brake
unit down along the frame. Retighten the bolt heads.
To operate the attendant brakes squeeze the brake lever (A ) and to lock into place push the spring
loaded button ( B ) in, and then release. To totally release the brake, squeeze the lever and the spring
loaded button will pop out, the wheelchair is now free to push. SEE PHOTO 8

Legrest adjustment—for optimum comfort it is important to attain the correct leg position.
The footrests have been designed so that they can be extended into a number of fixed
positions by releasing the bolt at the base of the legrest. This lengthens the legrest into
various positions. Once the correct length has been set tighten up the bolt.
6.
Kerb lifters– use the kerb lifters to raise the front castors e.g. when mounting a kerb.
Do not raise the front castors by pushing down on the push handles as this could result
in damage to the wheelchair. Or choose optional Anti-tips - these stop the wheelchair
tipping backwards when in use.
7.
Lap Belt– to be used to restrain the wheelchair occupant during normal daily use, adjust lap
belt to fit occupant.
