Drum Brakes - B+B S-Eco 2 Manual De Instrucciones

S-ECO 2
| Standard wheelchair
• The parking brakes effect only one driving wheel at a time.
• Pay attention to have the same air pressure on both driving wheels
to achieve a directional stability.
• After finishing the adjustments re-tighten the screws and test your
brakes.
• The brake system should be adjusted only by a qualified mobility
dealer.
In general !
Since the drum brake is the most important safety device on your
wheelchair we recommend the use of a drum brake when an assisting
person is frequently pushing the wheelchair, the drum brake is
optionally available.
As a drum brake the braking shoe does not effect the tire, but brakes
in the wheel hub, this braking system is largely independent of the tyre
condition (air pressure) and thus significantly safer.

4.4.1. Drum Brakes

As an option, S-Eco 2 can be equipped with a drum brake, which
should only be operated by an accompanying person via the brake
lever on the push handles.
Adjustment of the drum brakes
The basic adjustment of the drum brake is carried out on the rope
clamping screw. The final adjustments are carried out with an adjusting
nut on the brake cable. If the adjusting nut is turned up, the braking
efficiency is increased.
• The drum brakes affect only one of the drive wheels at a time!
• Make sure that the drive wheels have the same air pressure to
achieve directional stability.
• Drum brakes get worn out as well. If the braking performance is
reduced, the wheelchair must be withdrawn from circulation. To
avoid this check your braking device functions properly before each
use.
• After the adjustment are made, please tighten all the screws and
perform a brake test !
In general !
The adjustment of the brake system should be done only by a qualified
mobility dealer!
