Always leave the chair in drive mode. The freewheel option is there only to allow the chair to be pushed manually when the need arises (i.e., to store or push unit out of a tight space). Following the sticker picture put each lever in the direction of the person sitting down driving the chair.

The Powerchair will not function while the drive mechanism is disengaged (in freewheel). In addition, the VSI-50 will flash a fault
