Manual Freewheel Lever

Whenever you need or want to push your Sidekick for short distances, you can put it in manual freewheel mode.

WARNING! Before placing your Sidekick into or taking it out of freewheel mode, make certain that the key is removed from the key switch. Even though the motor of your Side- kick is disengaged from the drive system when your scooter is put in manual freewheel mode, the motor can still run if the throttle lever is pushed. Never sit on a scooter when it is in freewheel mode. Never put a scooter in freewheel mode on any incline.

νThe manual freewheel lever is located on the end of the motor/transaxle assembly at the right rear of the Sidekick. See figure 8.

νPull up on the manual freewheel lever to disable the drive system and the brake system.

νYou may push your Sidekick.

νPush down on the manual freewheel lever to reengage the drive system and the brake system and take your Sidekick out of freewheel mode.

Motor/Transaxle Assembly

The motor/transaxle assembly is the electromechanical unit that converts the electrical energy of your Sidekick’s batteries into the controlled mechanical energy that drives the Sidekick’s wheels. See figure 8.

Anti-Tip Wheels

The anti-tip wheels are an integral and important safety feature of your Sidekick. Do not, under any circumstances, remove the anti-tip wheels from your Sidekick. See figure 8.
