6.5 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.

Misuse of motor locks may result in
injury or damage.

until the power is in the off position.

allows free-wheeling or joystick controlled
operation. Free-wheeling allows an assistant to
maneuver the wheelchair without power.

motor behind the drive wheel on both sides of
the wheelchair.
