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! Do not disengage
the drive motors when your power chair is on an incline or decline, as the unit could roll on its
own. Only engage the freewheel mode when on a level surface.
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the
braking system is disengaged.
To operate the dual manual freewheel levers:
1. Push the manual freewheel lever on each motor down for freewheel mode (drive disengaged). See figure 7.
2. Pull the manual freewheel lever on each motor up for drive mode (drive engaged). See figure 8.
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.
WARNING! Do not use the freewheel lever handles as tie-down points to secure this product.
