YOUR POWER CHAIR
Manual Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with a
manual freewheel lever mounted on each motor. The levers
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 manual freewheel levers:
1. Push down both manual freewheel levers for freewheel
mode (drive motor disengaged). See figure 2.
2. Pull up both manual freewheel levers for drive mode
(drive motor engaged). See figure 2.
MANDATORY!
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
and place the power chair in drive mode. Then, turn on
the controller. The error message should be cleared. If it
is not, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider.
NOTE: The power chair will be significantly easier to
push with the power off.
WARNING!
Avoid applying excessive force to the manual freewheel
levers.
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.
Do not use the freewheel lever handles as tie-down
points to secure this product.

that will be used in conjunction with your seating system.
