Attendant Brakes

These are located on the handles and have a 2 click system. See Fig 7b. To slow the

wheelchair pull the brake handles which will ‘click’ once and then by applying

further pressure it will increase braking. By pressing harder the brake handle will

‘click’ again which means the parking brake has been applied. To release the brakes

(from either the 1 click or 2 click position) then press the release handle.

BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

The brakes may need to be adjusted periodically. We would advise that this is done

by competent person.

For normal adjustment see Fig. 7a, whereby ‘Nut A’ needs to be released and then

the adjustor needs to be turned clockwise/anticlockwise to adjust the brakes. After

adjustment re-tighten Nut A. Should further adjustment be needed then see Fig. 7c

where the hex nut needs to be undone and the cable pulled and tightened before

re-locking with the allen key.
