Manual Freewheel Levers

For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers. The levers are located on each
motor. See figures 8 and 9. These levers allow you to disengage the drive motors from the gearboxes and maneuver the
chair manually. This is called freewheel mode.
WARNING! Do not use your power chair while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in
the presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your power chair is on an
incline. The chair could roll down on its own and cause injury!
WARNING! In freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged. Only engage the freewheel
mode when on a level surface. Failure to comply could result in injury and/or damage to your
product.

To engage or disengage the drive motors:

1. Rotate the manual freewheel levers inward to engage the drive motors and place your power chair in drive mode. See
figure 8.
2. Rotate the manual freewheel levers outward to disengage the drive motors and place your power chair in freewheel
mode. See figure 9.
NOTE: If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your power chair back and forth slightly. The
lever should then move to the desired position.
