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.

6.1Manually disengaging conventional 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.

Disengaging motors:

•Switch off remote.

•Pull the locking pin (1) downwards. Pull the engaging lever (2) to the rear. The motors are now disengaged.

Re-engaging motors

•Push the engaging lever (1) forwards. The motors are now re-engaged.
