Manual Freewheel Levers - Pride Mobility J6 J6 2S User Manual

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.
To engage or disengage the drive motors:
1. Locate the lever on top of each motor.
2. Push the two levers inward to engage the drive motors (drive mode). See figure 8.
3. Pull the two levers outward to disengage the drive motors (freewheel mode). See figure 9.
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.

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, 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.
