INFORMATION
The control device outputs a signal on the control panel when the brakes are unlocked. If this is not the case,
there is a malfunction that has to be promptly rectified by the qualified personnel.
In case of a control device failure or an insufficient battery charge level, the power wheelchair can be pushed.
To do so, the brakes are deactivated via the mechanical release. The brake releases are located on the right and
