FREEWHEEL LEVERS

The Cirrus Plus Wheelchair is equipped with two freewheel levers. (Fig. 10) These
levers allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.

WARNING!

DO NOT use your wheelchair while the drive motors are disengaged

unless you are in the presence of an attendant! DO NOT disengage the drive motors
when your wheelchair is on an incline. The chair could roll down on its own, causing
injury!

To engage or disengage the freewheel feature:
1. Turn the freewheel levers outward to disengage the drive motors.

2. Turn the free wheel levers inward, to engage the drive motors.

NOTE: It is important to remember that when your Cirrus Plus Wheelchair is in
freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
