Emergency freewheel
By pulling the drive lever up, the drive
becomes disconnected from the motors.
This may only be used in an
emergency, or if you need to manually
push your wheelchair (Fig. 8).
WARNING
Freewheel is not intended for
permanent use.
REMEMBER:
The chairs automatic braking
system will not work unless the
handle on the right hand side of the
chair is pushed down (Fig. 9).
ALWAYS RE-ENGAGE THE
EMERGENCY FREEWHEEL AFTER
USE.
If you need to manually push your
wheelchair, pull the handle up,
move the chair, and then return the
handle to the drive position. Never
leave the chair with the drive lever
up, or attempt to enter or dismount
the chair with the lever in the up
position.
Remember that the wheelchair is
very heavy and you may not be able
to stop the wheelchair from rolling
away if you engage the freewheel
on sloping ground.
