The clutch engagement/disengagement allows free‐wheeling or joystick controlled operation. Free‐wheeling allows an attendant to maneuver the wheelchair without power. To engage/disengage the clutches:

1. Locate the clutch handles on motors as shown in FIGURE 13.1.

CAUTION

If clutch handles are forced to engage in the wrong direction as shown in FIGURE 13.1, the motors will be damaged and will need to be replaced.
