Pushing The Mobility Device In Freewheel Mode; Disengaging Motors - Invacare Pronto M41 Series User Manual

6.9 Pushing the mobility device in freewheel
mode
The motors of the mobility device are equipped with automatic
brakes, preventing that the mobility device starts rolling out of
control when the remote is switched off. When pushing the mobility
device manually whilst freewheeling, the magnetic brakes must be
disengaged.
Pushing the mobility device by hand may require more
physical force than expected (more than 100 N). The
necessary force nevertheless complies with the requirements
of ISO 7176-14.

6.9.1 Disengaging motors

CAUTION!
Risk of the mobility device running away
– When the motors are disengaged (for push operation
whilst freewheeling), the electromagnetic motor
brakes are deactivated. When the mobility device 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 motors may only be disengaged by an attendant, not
by the user.
This ensures that the motors are only disengaged if an
attendant is available to secure the mobility device and
prevent unintended rolling.
The levers for disengaging the motors are located on each motor.
