4.6. Brakes

Operating the parking brake
To lock the brake, simply push the brake lever forwards until it clicks
into place (see fig. 21). To release the locking brake again, simply pull
the brake lever backwards (see fig. 22).
Adjusting the parking brake
If you notice that the available braking efficiency is no longer sufficient
21
or is uneven, you must do as follows:
• Check the tyre tread depth. At the same time, check for even wear
of the tyres. If the tread depth in the middle of the tyre is < 1 mm,
the tyre must be changed. If you have the necessary technical
knowledge, you could change the tyre yourself. If you do not feel
confident to do this yourself, your mobility dealer will be able to
help you.

• Now check the adjustment of the brake. This must be set so that
the gap between the surface of the wheel and the braking bolt is
15 mm with the brake off (see fig. 23). The braking bolt must be
aligned horizontally, that is parallel to the ground surface.
• To adjust the gap. loosen the two Allen screws at the brake
x
mounting (see fig. 24).
• You can then push the braking system along the mounting into the
correct position.
x = 15 mm

• Then tighten both Allen screws up again.
• Make sure the brake fully locks into place when the lever is
operated and does not snap back.

The compact brakes only operate on one driving wheel each!
With pneumatic tyres, always ensure that both driving wheels have the
same tyre pressure to achieve good directional stability!
After completion of the setting process, retighten the loosened bolts
and test the brakes!
Adjustment of the brakes should be carried out
by specialist trained staff. However, if you have
enough experience, you can also carry out this
work yourself. Nevertheless, please bear in mind
that incorrectly adjusted brakes may have life
threatening consequences.

4.7. Wheels and tyres

The spoked wheels are attached to the frame by means of a floating
axle (Ø12mm), (see fig. 23). The Pyro Start Plus model comes with
floating axles as standard. (For floating axles see section 4.8). Check
that the wheels are securely fixed each time they are fitted!
