1.Rotate the base to access the brake lever cover. Remove brake lever cover.

If the brake will not release, the base can still be rotated manually by applying additional force. The brake lever cover is located between the upper and lower base castings at the patient's left rear corner.

2.Press the brake pedal while watching the brake lever. If the magnet "grabs" the brake lever tighten the magnet screw 1/4 turn. If the magnet does not "grab" the brake lever loosen the magnet screw 1/4 turn. Check for proper operation and repeat if necessary.
