Releasing the brakes

To avoid the wheelchair rolling away, make sure it is on a level surface
before you release the brakes.
You can release the brakes to let you move the chair by hand.
1. Shut down the wheelchair by switching off the main switch.
2. Move the lever (Fig. 48) forwards. You can now move the chair manually.
IMPORTANT! Reset the brakes after moving the chair, by returning the lever to
its original position. When the brakes are released, the wheelchair can not be
driven.
Check regularly, approx. once per month, the brake release function by enga-
ging and disengaging the brake release a number of times. Check to see if chair
actually goes in and out of freewheel by pushing the chair.
