6 Pushing the wheelchair by hand
The motors of the wheelchair are equipped with automatic brakes, preventing that the wheelchair starts rolling out of control when the joystick box is switched off. When pushing the wheelchair, the magnetic brakes must be disengaged.
6.1Disengaging Motors
Danger of the vehicle running away!
•When the motors are disengaged (for push operation), the electromagnetic motor brakes are deactivated! When the vehicle is parked, the levers for engaging and disengaging the motors must without fail be locked firmly into the "DRIVE" position (electromagnetic motor brakes activated)!
The lever for disengaging the motors is on the rear right side on the wheelchair chassis.
Declutching the motors:
•Switch off the remote.
•Pull out the locking pin (1). In order to simplify declutching, move the wheelchair forward and backward during declutching. Push the coupling lever (2) to the front. The motors are declutched.
Reclutching the motors:
•Pull the coupling lever to the rear (2). The motors are reclutched.
