Manual Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with dual manual freewheel levers. The levers are located on
each motor, and allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually. You can manually
push the power chair by the seatback.
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.
To operate the dual manual freewheel levers:
1. Push down both manual freewheel levers for freewheel mode (drive motor disengaged). See figure 7.
2. Pull up both manual freewheel levers for drive mode (drive motor engaged). See figure 8.
NOTE: If the 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 handle as a tie-down point to secure this product.
