ADJUSTMENT

1. Your Tri-walker brake system will require periodic adjustment (fig.7).

2. Look for an adjusting barrel, a long hollow bolt in which the cable housing

terminates, but the inner wire goes through. This adjusting barrel may be on the

hand lever (fig.7a), or on the brake calliper (the main part of the braking system

at the wheel, fig. 7b).

3. You can fine adjust the brake tension by unscrewing the adjusting barrel a little

bit. This effectively shortens the cable.

4. Check the park brakes by pushing down on the brake handles, ensuring that

both brakes lock in the park position.

5. Lift the two ‘braked’ wheels off the ground and spin to ensure they turn freely. If

either braked wheels rub onto the brake arm, please check for obstructions and

repeat the brake procedure above, this time loosening the brake bolt slightly to

increase the distance between the brake arm and wheel.

6. It is important that you check brake adjustments on a regular basis to take into

account wear and tear. However brake adjustment must be checked at least

once a month and definitely prior to a change of user.

CLEANING

Clean using a non-abrasive cleaner or mild detergent with a soft cloth only. Only use a mild

detergent or disinfectant; never use an abrasive cleaner. Always ensure that you wipe dry

all equipment after cleaning.
