Manual Freewheel Levers

Your power chair has a manual freewheel lever on each motor. Manual freewheel levers enable you to disengage

the drive motors from the gearboxes and maneuver the chair manually.

WARNING! Do not use the power chair while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not

disengage the drive motors when the 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.

Figure 7. Drive Mode (Drive Engaged)

Figure 8. Freewheel Mode (Drive Disengaged)

To engage or disengage the drive motors:

1. Locate the lever on top of each motor.

2. Turn the levers inward to engage the drive motors (drive mode). See figure 7.

3. Turn the levers outward to disengage the drive motors (freewheel mode). See figure 8.

If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, slightly rock the power chair back and forth. 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.
