OPERATION
HAND BRAKES
Your Seat Walker has closed loop
hand brakes on both handles.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Both hand brakes should be used simultaneously to ensure your Seat Walker stops
as required and you are in control.
To STOP, gently pull upwards
on both brakes simultaneously.
This will slow down and stop
your Seat Walker.
Release both brakes to
allow the Seat Walker
to become mobile again.
The brakes on your Seat Walker
also have a park option.
To engage the park option, push
downwards on both brakes
simultaneously. Push the brakes
down until you hear 2 audible clicks.
These clicking sounds are made
when the brakes have locked into
the park position.
To unlock, simply pull the brakes up.
You will hear a click as the ‘park lock’
disengages.

OPERATION
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
Your Seat Walker brake system
will require periodic adjustment.
Should the brakes need adjusting
they can be tightened by unlocking
Nut A and then unscrewing
(anti-clockwise) Nut B.
When the brake arm has a 3mm
clearance then Nut A should be
retightened.
When adjusted the brakes should work in both normal braking and in parking mode.
If needed then Nut B can be turned further anti-clockwise, which will tighten the
brake cable more.
If the brake handles are fully adjusted and more
tightening is required, carefully release the locking
screws using an Allen key. Adjust the cable to both
brakes until the brake arms evenly clear the wheels
by approx. 3 mm.
Retighten the locking screw.
Check the park brakes by
pushing down on the brake
handles, ensuring that both
brakes lock in the park position.
Lift the two ‘braked’ wheels off
the ground and spin to ensure
they turn freely. If either of the
braked wheels rubs onto the
brake arm, please check for
obstructions and repeat the
brake adjustment procedure above.
