FREEWHEEL LEVERS

For your convenience, your Jet 1 is equipped with two freewheel levers. See figures 5 and 6. These levers allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.

WARNING! Do not use your power chair while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your Jet 1 is on an incline. The chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!

To engage or disengage the freewheel feature:

1.Turn the freewheel levers inward to disengage the drive motors. See figure 5.

2.Turn the freewheel levers outward to engage the drive motors. See figure 6.

CAUTION! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.

ACTIVE-TRAC SYSTEM

Your Jet 1 is equipped with anActive-Trac System (ATS). ATS is a suspension system designed to make your Jet 1 capable of traversing different types of terrain and obstacles whilemaintaining smooth operation.WithATS, the front anti- tip wheels work in conjunction with the motor suspension to help you maneuver your Jet 1 over obstacles in excess of three inches in height.

As the front anti-tip wheels come in contact with an obstacle, the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn upward. At the same time, the motors are moved downward. This operation allows the motors to push the Jet 1 over an obstacle while greatly limiting the possibility of your power chair becoming “hung up” on the obstacle.

ATS also helps in day-to-day operating conditions. For instance, when you release the joystick, your Jet 1 begins to slow down. As the chair slows down, the front anti-tip wheels will automatically drop toward the ground. This will reduce the forward tip that is typically encountered as center-wheel- drive chairs slow and come to a complete stop.

If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your Jet 1 back and forth slightly. The lever should then move to the desired position.
