2.7 ASSEMBLY GROUP BRAKES
ATTENTION
WHEEL LOCKS ONLY SERVE THE PURPOSE OF PUTTING
THE WHEELS IN A RESTING POSITION. THEY ARE NOT MA-
DE TO BRAKE THE WHEELCHAIR WHILE DRIVING
ATTENTION
AFTER EVERY CHANGE MAD ON THE DRIVING WHEELS,
BE SURE TO CHECK THE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE
BRAKES.
The wheelchair with passenger (max. load capacity) must
stand securely, with drawn brake, on a ramp with a 12,3%
(= 7°) decent.
ATTENTION
Possible impairments of the brake force can occur from:
• not enough air pressure in the driving wheels,
• worn tires or brake pressing bolts
• dirty tires (snow, mud, wetness etc. )
• wrongly adjsuted brake pad
• wrongly adjusted traction of the Bowden cable,
• defected Bowden cable,
• dirty brake pads/brake shoes.
INFORMATION
When the brake is open, the maximum distance between
brake presssing bolt and tire is:
• standard KLB 21 mm
• Pull-to-lock-brake 11 mm
• KLB with rollback blocking ca. 10 mm
• cable brake 6 mm
(technical changes reserved).
2.7.1 Wheel lock (standard Knee lever brake)
(1) To set the distance between the brake pressing bolt (A)
and wheel cover:
• Loosen the screws (B) on both sides,
• move the whole brake pad with opened brake to
the needed position (distance see above) and
• retighten all screws (B).
2.7.2 Cable brake
(2) To set the distance between the brake pressing bolt (A)
and driving wheel:
• Loosen both screws (B),
• vmove the whole brake pad with opened brake to
the needed position (distance see above)
• and retighten the screws (B).
(2) To retention the cable control
• Loosen the lock nut (C)
• and turn the setscrew (D):
• clockwise = tighten,
• counterclockwise = loosen.
• Retighten the lock nut (A).
(3) To set the length of the brake lever (A):
• Loosen both screws (B), if necessary on both sides,
• align the brake lever (A)
• and retighten all the screws (B).

2.7.4 Drum brake
The braking force of the drum brake is ideally set by our
technicians.
ATTENTION
Check the functionality of the drum brake in regular in-
tervals (atleast according to the maintenance plan!). Due
to permanent use, readjusting the brake force or even a
replacement of a Bowden cable may be necessary.
(1) The following parts of the drum brake are of importance
in order to adjust the brake force:
• setscrew (A)
• lock nut (B)
• push-on nipple (C)
• holder (D)
• attachment screw (E)
• inner cable (F)
• locking lever (G)
• clamp (H)
• brake shoe (I)
(1) To install the Bowden cable:
• Place the push-on nipple (C) with the setscrew (A)
and the lock nut (B) at the bottom end in the hol-
der (D),
• thread the inner cable (F) through the clamp (H),
• place the clamp (H) in the locking lever (G) and
• push the locking lever (G) slightly forward toward
the push-on nipple (C), so that a slight pull between
clamp and push-on nipple occurs.
• Tighten the clamp (H).
• Put the wheel back on and check if the brake shoes
(I) already grind against the brake pad.
• For this, jack up the wheelchair or tilt it to the side.
The wheel must be able to turn unhindered.
• Should the brake shoes (I) grind (without using the
control leve), loosen the clamp (H)
• and give the locking lever (G) more room.
• After, tighten the clamp (H) and examine.
To set the brake force:
• Loosen the lock nut (B) on the setscrew(A),
• tighten/loosen the inner cable (F) by turning the
setscrew(A),
• test the traction of the brake with the control lever
• and retighten the lock nut (B).
ATTENTION
Possible impairments of the brake force can occur from:
• wrongfully adjusted traction of the Bowden
cables,
• defected Bowden cable,
• dirty brake pads/brak shoes.
ATTENTION
The wheelchair with passenger (max. load capacity) must
stand securely, with drawn brake, on a ramp with a 12,3%
(= 7°) decent.

2.8 ASSEMBLY GROUP ANTI-TIPPER
(1) The anti- tipper consists of 4 parts: anti-tipper holder
(A), foot lever (B), anti-tipper wheel (C) with holder and the
anti-tipper bail (D) which can be pulled down and turned
180°(partly sticking in the anti-tipper holder).
(2) The height of the ant-tipper can be changed with the
screw (A):
• Remove the driving wheels,
• remove the screws (A) along with the bushings (B),
• move the ant-tipper bail (C) along the holder (D) to
the desired position (E),
• replace the bushings (B) and the screws (A)
• and retighten the screws.
ATTENTION
THE BOTTOM HOLE (F) IS DESIGN RELATED AND CANNOT
BE USED. THE ANTI-TIPPER BAIL COULD FALL OUT OF THE
HOLDER WHEN TURNING/ACTIVATING THE ANT-TIPPER.
(3) If the wheelchair is set very active and the activated an-
ti-tipper sticks out too far back, then the anti-tipper bail can
be shortened.
• Remove the screw (B)
• remove the anti-tipper wheel and holder (A),
• shorten the anti-tipper bail (C) with a suitable saw
to the length needed,
• replace the anti-tipper wheel and holder back on
the anti-tipper bail (C),
• place the screw (B) in the hole (D)
• and tighten the screw (B).

2.9 ASSEMBLY GROUP TRUSS PADS
2.9.1 Classification
(1) The truss pads consist of the following parts:
• (A) locking joint
• (B) connection (C-bar)
• (C) truss pad cushion
• (D) truss pad holder
• (E) release button
2.9.2 Vertical setting
(2) The vertical setting of the truss pads occurs on the one
hand by moving the locking joint (A) in the C-bar (B):
• Loosen both screws (C),
• move the locking joint (A),
• and retighten the screws (C).
(3) The locking joint (A) is clamped into the C-bar through
the connection of the wird durch die Verbindung der Metall-
zunge (B) mit den beiden Schrauben (C) in die C-Schiene
(D) geklemmt.
(3) On the other hand, the truss pads can be adjusted by
moving the C-bar (D) along the back tube holder:
• Loosen both screws (B) if necessary and thread
the truss pad holder (A) out of the C-bar (D).
• Remove the screws (E)
• and displace the C-bar (D) along the alternate holes
(F) ,
• replace the screws (E)
• and tighten them.
• Thread the truss pad holder (A) into the C-bar (D),
• put it to the desired height
• and retighten all the screws (B).
(4) Additionally, with truss pad size II the height can be ad-
justed by displacing the cushions:
• Remove the cover,
• remove both screws (A) ,
• displace the cushions (B) into the alternate holes
(C),
• replace the screws (A)
• and tighten them.
• After, replace the covers.
