Manual Freewheel Levers
The power chair has a manual freewheel lever on each motor. Manual freewheel levers enable you to disengage the drive motors in order to push the chair.
WARNING! Do not use the power chair while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not disengage the drive motors when the power chair is on an incline, as the unit could roll on its own. Only engage the freewheel mode when on a level surface.
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
NOTE: You must turn off the power before disabling the drive systems, otherwise you may get an error code on the controller. To clear this code, turn off the controller and place the power chair in drive mode. Then turn on the controller. The error message should be cleared. If not, contact an authorized Pride Provider.
To engage or disengage the drive system:
1.Locate the levers on the rear section of the power base. See figure 7.
2.Push the two levers forward to engage the drive motors (drive mode). See figure 7
3.Pull the two levers rearward to disengage the drive motors (freewheel mode). See figure 7.
