Manual Freewheel Lever
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with a manual freewheel system. This system consists of one or more freewheel levers which enable you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use your power chair while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your power chair is on an incline. The chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
To operate the dual manual freewheel levers:
1.Pull up the manual freewheel lever on each motor for freewheel mode (drive disengaged). See figure 8.
2.Push down the manual freewheel lever on each motor for drive mode (drive engaged). See figure 9.
Figure 8. Freewheel Mode (Drive Disengaged) | Figure 9. Drive Mode (Drive Engaged) |
NOTE: If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your power chair back and forth slightly. The lever should then move to the desired position.
