Manual Brake Release Levers
On occasion it may be necessary to push your Hoveround
wheelchair. Each motor has a manual brake release lever. Refer to
Figure 3 below to locate the manual brake release levers on your
power wheelchair.
•Always verify that the manual brake release levers are in
the full "up" (engaged) position before getting into or out of
the seat.
•Releasing the manual brakes (down position) allows power
wheelchair to be pushed or roll on its own on a slope.
Releasing the manual brakes when caregiver is not present
or while on an incline increases the chance of a fall from the
seat or a collision, and can result in serious injury or death.
The levers move downward to release the brake on the motor. When
both manual brake release levers are released, and the power is turned
OFF, the chair can be pushed. When only one manual brake release
lever is released, your power wheelchair cannot be driven. An error code
will appear when attempting to operate your power wheelchair when
the brakes are released. Push both manual brake release levers upward
to re-engage the brakes.
