Pushing the wheelchair in freewheel mode

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
manually whilst freewheeling, the magnetic brakes must be disengaged.

Disengaging Motors

Danger of the vehicle running away!
• When the motors are disengaged (for push operation whilst freewheeling), 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 disengaging levers for the motors are located at the rear on the motor.
Disengaging motors:
• Switch off remote.
• Rotate the engaging lever (1) to the side (position B).
The motors are now disengaged.
Re-engaging motors
• Rotate the engaging lever (1) to the rear (position A).
The motors are now re-engaged.
