Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with two freewheel levers. See figures 8 and 9. 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 power
chair 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 outward to disengage the drive motors. See figure 8.
2. Turn the freewheel levers inward to engage the drive motors. See figure 9.
WARNING
!
It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode,
the braking system is disengaged.
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your power chair back and forth slightly. The lever should then
move to the desired position.
