How to A djust the Brakes
The following information is designed to assist you with the adjustment of your
Nova Feather Touch Hand Brake System.
NOTE: The braking system on your new Nova walker has been preset from the
factory. To maintain this preset position, be sure that the tension adjustment screw
locking nuts (see Fig. 2) are tight against the housing and the rear wheels.
If you are still having diculty with your brakes, you can adjust them by the following:
1. Hand brake is too loose.
Loosen the tension adjustment screw locking nut and turn the screw one full turn
clockwise (as viewed from standing at the back of the walker). If this does not
correct the adjustment, repeat one full turn at a time until you have adjusted
your brakes. Then make sure the locking nut is spun tight against the housing to
prevent the screw from loosening.
