Usage/Application

Ideal for compatible manual wheelchairs where additional brake-handle reach is needed for easier wheel lock engagement and release. Confirm the extension fits the specific wheelchair brake-handle type by SKU before purchasing, and confirm whether sold singly or as a pair. Fit it per the manufacturer's instructions, ensure it is attached fully and securely so it cannot slip or rotate, and test that the brake still engages, releases, and holds the wheelchair properly. Because reliable braking is essential, do not rely on the wheelchair until both brakes work correctly with the extension fitted. Inspect the extension periodically and re-secure or replace it if it loosens or is damaged.
