DAngEr!
Risk of accident and injury if brake function is
unavailable!
When the brake is released (push mode), no
brake function is available. When moving on
inclined paths, the person pushing the power
wheelchair must provide the appropriate brake
force.

Releasing the brake may result in uncontrolled
rolling of the power wheelchair. Therefore,
make sure that the brake is engaged after
parking the power wheelchair.
If the control unit fails or there is not enough battery
power, it is possible to push the power wheelchair by dis-
engaging the brake by means of the mechanical release
mechanism. The brake release mechanism is located
either to the right or left side of the wheelchair between
the frame and seat.
