FREEWHEEL LEVERS
For convenience, your Jet 3 is equipped with two freewheel levers. See figure 4a. These levers allow you to
disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
To engage or disengage the drive motors:
1. Locate the two (2) metal levers protruding through the body shroud.
2. Turn the levers outward to engage the drive motors. See figure 6.
3. Turn the levers inward to disengage the drive motors (freewheel mode). See figure 7.
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock the Jet 3 gently back and forth while turning the levers. The
lever should then move to the desired position.

IV. THE JET 3
WARNING! Do not use your Jet while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the
presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your Jet is on an incline. The
chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
CAUTION! It is important to remember that when your Jet is in freewheel mode, the braking
system is disengaged.
