Engaging/Disengaging Motor Release Lever

DO NOT engage or disengage the motor release lever until the On/Off switch on
the joystick is in the Off position.
Ensure both motor release levers are fully engaged before driving the wheelchair
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 10.2 on page 58.
NOTE: The motor lock disengagement/engagement allows freewheeling or joystick controlled
operation. Freewheeling allows an attendant to maneuver the wheelchair without power.

the rear of the wheelchair.
2. Perform one of the following:
• To Disengage the Motor Release Levers ‐ Pull the motor lock lever towards the rear
of the wheelchair (freewheel position).
NOTE: This allows the chair to freewheel for pushing, if necessary.
NOTE: It may be necessary to rock the wheels slightly until the motor release lever disengages.
• To Engage the Motor Release Levers ‐ Push the motor lock handles towards the
front of the wheelchair (drive position).
NOTE: This allows the motors to drive the wheels.
NOTE: It may be necessary to rock the wheels slightly until the motor release lever engages.
