Manual Freewheel Lever
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with a manual freewheel system. This system consists of one or more
freewheel levers which enable 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 power chair is on an
incline. The chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the
braking system is disengaged.
