Yes. Push down on each hand break handle to lock wheelchair from rolling. Very easy.
208336
No you really need two people. One to hold the break on and one to help the person into the chair.

Yes. The brake can be set by pushing the brake handles down until they click and brakes are in force until brake handles are moved up.

Yes! There is a button in the center of the wheel, an easy one finger push and the job is done. I love this chair for my son!

Make sue the brakes are on. Then align the holes at 90 degree angle to chair. (The way you'd turn them if patient were getting out of chair). They will snap in like a puzzle then you use the black lever to click them forward

It won't break nor is there a lock. Just hold the top of the back & push down the seat. These are the most comfortable chairs!

Sorry so late in responding. The hand brakes do not lock, they are like handle bar brakes on a bicycle. However, the wheel brakes can be locked so you can go to the front and assist. I do this all the time with my mother. I absolutely love this wheelchair, we get asked all the time where we got it. Hope this helps.

Yes. To sit, you lock the brakes. turn around. When ready to get up, stand, turn around and release the brake

To lock the brake, push brake lever away from handle bar until it is locked in place. Keep in mind that you can manually use the hand brake when not in lock brake position. This unit is a wonderful unit.

Yes. It is important to make the clamps very tight. The chair must not be able to move at all.

If you are able to adjust the brake cable properly the wheels will lock. Simply push all the way down on the brake handle. It is a great rollator. My only problem is that I am six feet four and the handles are not high enough. JMC.

Pump it down to make chair go up. Lift up on lever (put foot under lever and lift up) to lock it.

There is a knob on the bottom of the chair you can twist to tighten or loosen. I have yet to use this myself so I can't info you as to how well it works. My advice is to loosen it a quarter turn at a time to assure you don't accidentally fall backwards. I hope this helps

I see others answered the question about the wheel locks. My mother uses the chair in a different state and is not in a position to explain the footrest. I recall from using it with her in November that the silver bars that hold the footrests go up and down into the red bars attached to the chair. I do not recall if there was a button or lever but they could definitely be extended.

Yes, instead of squeezing the brake levers, push them towards the ground and the brake stays locked indefinitely. Pull them up to release.

Yes the wheel chair has locking hand brakes. Just push them down and they lock, lift them to release or apply brakes that release when you release. The chair weighs about 20 pounds.

No. We made a loop out of a plastic twist tie to slide onto the handle when needed to act as a brake.

Yes, squeeze the brake handle and push down on the silver button on the handle and it will lock the brake. Squeeze the handle in to release it. Simple.
