Pushing The Mobility Device In Freewheel Mode; Disengaging Motors - Invacare Fox User Manual

Invacare® Fox™
5.6 Pushing the mobility device in freewheel
mode
The motors of the mobility device are fitted with automatic brakes,
preventing that the mobility device starts rolling out of control
when the joystick box is switched off. When pushing the mobility
device manually whilst freewheeling, the magnetic brakes must be
disengaged.

5.6.1 Disengaging motors

CAUTION!
Risk of the mobility device running away
– When the motors are disengaged (for push operation
whilst freewheeling), the electromagnetic motor
brakes are deactivated. When the mobility device is
parked, the levers for engaging and disengaging the
motors must without fail be locked firmly into the
"DRIVE" position (electromagnetic motor brakes
activated).
NOTE
– The motors may only be disengaged by an attendant,
not by the user.
– This ensures that the motors are only disengaged if an
attendant is available to secure the mobility device and
prevent unintended rolling.
The levers for disengaging the motors are located at the rear of the
mobility device.
