6 Pushing the wheelchair by hand
6.1Disengaging Motors
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.
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, with which the motors are disengaged, is located on the right motor.
Disengaging the motors:
•Switch off the remote.
•Pull the safety bolt (1) forward.
•Pull the declutching lever (2) upwards.
Re-engaging the motors:
•Push the declutching lever down. The safety bolt locks automatically back in place.
