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 51.
NOTE: The motor lock disengagement/engagement allows freewheeling or joystick controlled
operation. Freewheeling allows an attendant to maneuver the wheelchair without power.
1. Locate the motor release handles on the motors protruding through the shroud on the
front of the wheelchair behind the footboard.
2. Perform one of the following:
• To Disengage the Motor Release Levers ‐ Push the motor lock lever down.
NOTE: This allows the wheelchair 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 ‐ Pull the motor lock handles up.
NOTE: This allows the motors to drive the wheels.
