Options – Brakes
Extension for the Brake Lever
(7.11)
The extension for the brake lever
can be removed or folded down.
The longer lever helps to minimize
the effort needed to set the wheel
locks.
Caution:
Mounting the wheel lock too
close toward the wheel will
result in a higher effort to opera-
te. This might cause the brake
lever extension to break!
Leaning onto the brake lever extension while trans-
ferring will cause the lever to break! Splashing water
from tires might cause the wheel lock to malfunc-
tion.
Drum Brakes (7.13)
Drum brakes permit safe and con-
venient braking for an attendant.
They can also be set with the aid
of a locking lever (1) to prevent rol-
ling. This lever must snap audibly
into place. Drum brakes do not
independent on the aid of air pres-
sure inside the tires. Your
wheelchair cannot be moved when
the drum brakes are set.
CAUTION:
Drum brakes should only be adjusted by authori-
zed dealers.
One Hand Wheel Locks (7.16)
Your wheelchair is equipped with two sets of
wheel locks, that operate from the left or the
right side. They are applied directly against the
tires. To engage, press the wheel-lock lever
forward against the stop (fig. 78.2). To release
the wheel, pull the lever back to the original
position.
Braking power will decrease with:
• Worn tire tread
• Tire pressure that is too low
• Wet tires
• Improperly adjusted wheel locks.
The wheel locks have not been
designed to be used as brakes for
a moving wheelchair. The wheel
locks should therefore never be
used to brake a moving
wheelchair. Always use the hand-
rims for braking. Make sure that
the interval between the tires and
wheel locks complies with given
specifications. To readjust, loosen
screw and set the appropriate
interval. Tighten screw (see the
page on torque).
CAUTION:
After each adjustment of the rear wheels, check
the interval to the wheel locks and readjust if
necessary.

Options – Footplates
Footplates (7.21)
There are two types of footplates:
platform and divided. They can be
flipped up to facilitate getting in
and getting out of your wheelchair.
Lower Leg Length
By removing the setscrews (1),
the footrest can be adjusted to fit
any lower leg length. Remove set-
screws, set tubing with footrest in
the desired position, and reinsert
and tighten the setscrews (see the
page on torque). Make sure that the composite
plastic pad is in the proper position under the
setscrew. A minimum interval of 2.5 centimeters
from the ground should always be maintained.
Divided and Platform Footplates
(7.22)
Footplates can be flipped up to
facilitate getting in and getting
out of your wheelchair.
They can also be tilted to six diffe-
rent angles relative to a level surfa-
ce. Tighten screw (1) firmly on the
outer side. By removing the clips
(2), the footplate can be adjusted
to three different positions toward
both the front and rear. Loosen
the adjustment screw (3) to
change the horizontal position of
the footplate. For this purpose, the
footplate must be flipped up.
When finished, make sure that all
screws have been properly tighte-
ned (see the page on torque).
A minimum interval of 2.5 centi-
meters from the ground should
always be maintained.
