6.4 Pushing the Mobility Device in
Freewheel Mode
The motors of the mobility device are equipped with
motor locks, which prevent the mobility device from
rolling when the remote is switched off. When pushing
the mobility device manually while freewheeling, the
motor locks must be disengaged.
Pushing the mobility device by hand may
require more physical force than expected
(more than 100 N). The necessary force
nevertheless complies with the requirements of
ISO 7176-14.
The intended use of the freewheel mode is to
maneuver the mobility device over short
distances. The push handles or push bars
support this function, but be aware that there
might be some interference between the feet
of the assistant and the rear part of the
mobility device.

6.4.1 Anti-Rollaway
The LiNX electronics platform includes an anti-
rollaway feature that limits the wheelchair to a safe
speed if rolling away on a slope. This will occur when:
the controller is powered down, and
l
the motor locks have been disengaged
l
If the wheelchair moves at a higher speed than the
pre-set anti-rollaway max speed, the controller will
automatically power-up (even if the battery is
disconnected) and slow the wheelchair down using
dynamic braking.
6.4.2 Disengaging/Engaging the Motor Locks
WARNING!
Risk of Injury or Damage
Misuse of motor locks may result in
injury or damage.

operation. Free-wheeling allows an assistant to
maneuver the wheelchair without power.
