Pushing the wheelchair by hand

The motors of the wheelchair are equipped with automatic brakes, preventing that the wheelchair
starts rolling out of control when the joystick box is switched off. When pushing the wheelchair, the
magnetic brakes must be disengaged.

Disengaging Motors

Danger of the vehicle running away!
• When the motors are disengaged (for push operation), the electromagnetic motor brakes are
deactivated! When the vehicle is parked, the levers for engaging and disengaging the motors
must without fail be locked firmly into the "DRIVE" position (electromagnetic motor brakes
activated)!
The lever for disengaging the motors is on the rear right side on the wheelchair chassis.
Declutching the motors:
•
Switch off the remote.
• Pull out the locking pin (1). In order to simplify
declutching out, move the wheelchair forward and
backward during declutching. Push the coupling
lever (2) to the front. The motors are declutched.
Reclutching the motors:
•
Pull the coupling lever to the rear (2). The motors
are reclutched.
