CLUTCHES (FIGURES 1 AND 2)
WARNING
DO NOT engage or disengage the clutches until
the power is in the OFF position.
The clutch engagement/disengagement allows freewheel-
ing or joystick controlled operation. Freewheeling allows
an attendant to maneuver the wheelchair without power.
To engage/disengage the clutches:
NOTE: If the wheelchair is equipped with clutch extension
handles, refer to STEP 1 below. If the wheelchair is not equipped
with clutch extension handles, proceed to STEP 2.
WARNING
The tabs on the battery box connectors MUST be
assembled as shown in FIGURE 2. Otherwise the
connectors will not engage completely and
clutch handles could disengage connectors.
1. Confirm that the tabs on the battery box connectors
are assembled as shown in FIGURE 1.
NOTE: If the tab on the battery box connectors is not
assembled as shown in FIGURE 1, remove the phillips
screws and locknuts to assemble the tab onto the con-
nector correctly.
2. Locate the clutch handles on motors (FIGURE 2).
CAUTION
If clutch handles are forced to engage in the
wrong direction (FIGURE 2), the motors will be
damaged and will need to be replaced.
3. Perform one of the following (FIGURE 2):
TO ENGAGE: turn the clutch handles until they
are pointing towards the rear of the wheelchair.
NEVER try to turn the clutch handles towards the
FRONT of the wheelchair.
TO DISENGAGE: turn the clutch handles until they are
pointing towards the rear wheels. NEVER try to turn the
