The Powerchair will not function while the drive mechanism is disengaged (in freewheel).
Both left and right sides must be in drive mode for power chair to operate. Otherwise the Powerchair motors will spin, but the unit will not move, until both freewheel levers are engaged. Unit will spin in circles if only one side is in drive mode.
***DO NOT PUT INTO DRIVE MODE WHILE MOTORS ARE SPINNING ****
6Runner – 888WNLM, 888WNLLHD & 858WM
The drive/freewheel levers are found toward the rear of the Powerchair on 888WNLM and 888WNLLHD (Figure 4A). On the 858WM freewheel levers are located under the front part of the seat (Figure 4B), both have yellow colored handles. These levers will allow you to disengage the drive mechanism (When the levers are pulled out away from the unit) the Powerchair is in freewheel mode. ***NOTE*** the VSI will not work in Freewheel mode. When the levers are pushed in (towards the inside of the unit) the motors are engaged and the powerchair is in drive mode.
