Manual Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with a manual freewheel lever mounted on each motor. The
levers allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! The power chair could roll unintentionally when the drive motors are
disengaged on an incline! Property damage, severe injury or death can occur.
WARNING! This chair IS NOT EQUIPPED with an audible or visible warning system to
alert the user when one or both drive motors are disengaged.
WARNING! The power chair can drive in circles when only one drive motor is
engaged. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE IN THIS CONDITION. Property damage, severe
injury or death can occur.
WARNING! Ensure both drive motors are engaged before turning on power to the
controller or attempting to drive the power chair.
WARNING! Do not attempt to use the power chair or occupy the chair when the drive
motors are disengaged.
To operate the manual freewheel levers:
1. Push down both manual freewheel levers for freewheel mode (drive motor disengaged). See figures 4A
and 4B.
2. Pull up both manual freewheel levers for drive mode (drive motor engaged). See figures 5A and 5B.
NOTE: You must turn off the power before disengaging the drive motors; otherwise, you may get an error code
on the controller. To clear this code, turn off the controller and place the power chair in drive mode. Then, turn
on the controller. The error message should be cleared. If it is not, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.
NOTE: The power chair will be significantly easier to push with the power off.

WARNING! Do not use your foot to operate the manual freewheel levers. Do not stand on the
manual freewheel levers. Applying excessive force to the manual freewheel levers may result in
