Motor/Brake Assembly - Pride Mobility Jet 7 Owner's Manual

HOW SHOULD I DISPOSE OF OLD BATTERIES?
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and call your authorised Pride provider
for instructions on disposal. Your authorised Pride provider will also have the necessary information on battery recycling,
which is our recommended course of action.
WARNING! Do not attempt to dispose of damaged batteries. If you suspect that your batteries are damaged,
contact your authorised Pride provider immediately.

MOTOR/BRAKE ASSEMBLY

Your power chair is equipped with two motor/brake assemblies, one for each drive wheel. The motor/brake assembly consists
of a 24-volt motor, an electronic brake, and a gearbox. The gearbox features a brake release lever that disconnects the motor
from the gearbox and enables you to move the chair manually.
MANUAL FREEWHEEL LEVERS
For convenience, your Jet 7 is equipped with two manual freewheel levers located on the front of your Jet 7. See figures 5 and
6. These levers allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
Figure 5. Drive Motors Engaged
To engage or disengage the drive motors:
1. Locate the two (2) manual freewheel levers protruding through the body shroud.
2. Turn the levers forward to engage the drive motors. See figure 5.
3. Turn the levers outward to disengage the drive motors (freewheel mode). See figure 6.
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock the power chair gently back and forth while turning the levers. The levers
should then move to the desired position.
WARNING! Do not disengage the drive motors without an attendant present. Personal injury may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to disengage the drive motors while seated on your power chair. Personal injury
may result. Ask your attendant for assistance.
WARNING! Do not disengage the drive motors while on an incline. The chair could roll uncontrollably on its
own, causing personal injury.
MANUAL PARK BRAKES
Your power chair is equipped with a manual park brake mounted on each drive wheel. The manual park brakes work in
conjunction with the electromagnetic brakes to help prevent your power chair's wheels from moving when your power chair is
parked. After you release the joystick and your wheels are completely stopped, push the manual park brake lever down to
engage it. See figure 7. To disengage the manual park brake, pull the manual park brake lever up. See figure 8.
WARNING! Do not attempt to use either manual park brake lever to stop your power chair. Serious injury may
result.
