To engage or disengage the drive motors:
1. Locate the manual freewheel levers at the front of the chair.
2. Push the levers down to engage the drive motors (drive mode). See figure 8.
3. Pull the levers upward to disengage the drive motors (freewheel mode). See figure 9.
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your power chair back and forth slightly. The lever should then move
to the desired position.

Active-Trac System
Your power chair is equipped with an Active-Trac System
(ATS). See figure 10. ATS is a suspension system designed
to make your power chair traverse different types of terrain
and obstacles while maintaining smooth operation. With ATS,
the front anti-tip wheels work in conjunction with the motor
suspension to help you maneuver over obstacles.
As the front anti-tip wheels come in contact with an obstacle,
the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn upward. At the
same time, the motors are forced downward. This allows
the motors to push the power chair over an obstacle and
limits the possibility of your power chair becoming "hung up"
on the obstacle.
ATS also helps in day-to-day operating conditions. For
instance, when you release the joystick, your power chair
begins to slow down. As the chair slows down, the front
anti-tip wheels will automatically drop toward the ground.
This will reduce the forward tip that is typically encountered
with center-wheel drive chairs.
