3.2 Parking brakes

The parking brakes are used to immobilise the wheelchair when it
is stationary to prevent it from rolling away.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning if you brake sharply
If you apply the parking brakes while you are
moving, the direction of movement can become
uncontrollable and the wheelchair may stop
suddenly, which can lead to a collision or to you
falling out.
– Never apply the parking brakes while you are
moving.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
The parking brakes will not operate correctly
unless there is sufficient air in the tyres.
– Ensure the correct tyre pressure, 3.13 Tires, page
