tioning wheelchair, especially tuned
to domestic and geriatric provision.
The proven technology and the com-
fortable equipment ensure a comfort-
able and relaxed sitting together with

first drive and thereafter observe
the contents!
– This Operating Manual applies for
the wheelchair MODEL 2.250, in-
cluding all equipment and acces-
sories. It will therefore contain sec-
tions that do not apply to your

DRIVING
The matching of the driving behav-
iour of the Model 2.250 and your per-
sonal circumstances is first achieved
after a short familiarisation phase, the
driving training.
!
Attention:
Drive with extreme caution during
these first trips.
• Observe the chapter < driver
training > in the brochure < Safe-
ty information – Mechanical
wheelchairs >!
During each trip, you will be confront-
ed with new situations and must cope
with these, as is necessary in all areas
of life. MODEL 2.250 is a very versa-
tile wheelchair and can be optimally
adapted to the needs of the user.
This offers you outstanding driving
comfort and high operational safety.
This operating manual will give you
all necessary information.
!
Attention:
Please follow all instructions in the
brochure < Safety information
Mechanical wheelchairs >.
Avoid sudden change to the oppo-
site direction, (e.g. change to for-
ward drive after driving backwards
without any movement of the
steering wheel). – This can lead to
accidents due to full braking while
steering wheels are moving in-
wards!
9
BRAKE
The parking brakes are part of the
most important safety elements of a
wheelchair. This function is provided
by pressure brakes or air pressure in-
dependent drum brakes.
!
Attention:
Please observe the Maintenance
Instructions as well as instructions
in the section < General Safety In-
formation > and < Brakes > in the
brochure < Safety information
Mechanical wheelchairs >!
The wheelchair is fir with two brake
levers each for the user (A, fig. 3). Also
available are 2 additional brake levers
for the attendant (B, fig. 4).
!
Attention:
For optimal braking effect the
drum brake is to be kept free of
grease, oil, gunge and dust. – Dan-
ger of accidents!
BRAKE LEVER FOR USER
Benefits:
– Controlled braking of the driving
speed (service brake).
– Securing the wheelchair against
accidental rolling (parking brake).

B
!
Attention:
When activating and locking only
one brake lever on slopes the free
wheel rolls downhill around the
braked wheel.
Depending on the gradient of the
road, this can lead to the wheel-
chair overturning to the side.

BRAKE
SERVICE BRAKE
– Gently and evenly press both brake
levers slightly forwards. This way,
you brake the wheelchair in a
measured way.
PARKING BRAKE
– Push both brake levers forward as
far as they will go (fig. 5). The
brakes engage and the wheelchair
can no longer be pushed (parking
brake).
LOOSEN THE PARKING BRAKE
– Pull back both brake levers as far
as they will go (fig. 6).
PARKING BRAKE FOR HELPER
Service brake
– Pull both brake levers (B, fig. 4)
only slightly upward, this gradual-
ly brakes the wheelchair down.

BRAKE
LOCKING THE DRUM BRAKES
– To secure the wheelchair against
accidental rolling, evenly pull both
brake levers.
– Then press the surface (A, fig. 7)
of the latching pawl.
– Let go of the brake lever. – De-
pending on the setting, the latch-
ing pawl will click into the first or
second latching position and lock
the brake.
☞ Note:
– It should not be possible to push
the wheelchair forward when both
brakes are locked.
– The brake must be readjusted by
a specialist workshop if the third
latching position must be used in
order to lock the brake.
!
Attention:
The brake performance reduces
with the wear on the brake pads.
• Any decrease in braking perform-
ance must be repaired immediate-
ly by your specialist workshop.
