Manual Freewheel Levers - Pride 6000Z 3MP Owner's Manual

Dual Manual Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with dual manual freewheel levers. The levers are located on
each motor and allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use the power chair while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not
disengage the drive motors when the power chair is on an incline, as the unit could
roll on its own! Only engage the freewheel mode when on a level surface.
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel
mode, the braking system is disengaged.
To operate the dual manual freewheel levers:
1. Push down both manual freewheel levers for freewheel mode (drive motor disengaged). See figure 8.
2. Pull up both manual freewheel levers for drive mode (drive motor engaged). See figure 9.
NOTE: You must turn off the power before disengaging the drive motors, otherwise you may get an error code
on the controller. To clear this code, turn off the controller, place the power chair in drive mode, then turn on
the controller. The error message should be cleared. If it is not cleared, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.
NOTE: The power chair will be significantly easier to push with the power off.
Avoid applying excessive force to the manual freewheel levers.
WARNING! Do not use your foot to operate the manual freewheel levers. Do not stand on the
manual freewheel levers. Applying excessive force to the manual freewheel levers may result in
damage to the freewheel levers, motors, and brakes.
WARNING! Do not use the freewheel lever handles as tie-down points to secure this product.

Hammer Motor Package
Your power chair may be equipped with two powerful Hammer motors. These are right angle motors capable of
producing one horsepower of peak output each. Follow the suggestions below to help ensure peak motor performance.
Maintain an even speed when negotiating obstacles. If you encounter a situation where you have stalled the motors,
immediately release the joystick. Adjust the controller to a higher drive profile and attempt to move over the
obstacle. If you still encounter a stall condition, back away from the obstacle, then drive forward, maintaining
momentum as you negotiate over the obstacle.
WARNING! Prevent motor damage! Immediately release the joystick if the motors stall. Failure to
release the joystick within 5 seconds of motor stall may cause the motors to overheat, resulting
in damage to the motors, lack of motor performance, and/or increased motor noise.
