Free Wheel Mode - Shoprider eclipse 778EL Instruction Manual

Free Wheel Mode

Free-wheeling is used when you want to move your unit without riding on it.
If for reasons of convenience you need to free wheel your scooter, there are two
ways in which this can be accomplished:
By disengaging the electromagnetic brakes and by lifting the front of the unit and
letting it ride on its antitippers.
To disengage the electromagnetic brakes,
with the power "OFF", simply depress the
freewheeling switch located underneath the
shroud, just above the back right wheel. You
can easily get to it without having to take the
unit apart. When you are done moving your
scooter always remember to depress the
switch again. In the event that the unit had
the batteries disconnected and therefore,
unable to disengage the electromagnetic
brakes, your scooter can still be freewheeled by lifting the front of the unit and
pulling, using the base of the tiller as a secure handhold.
Caution Notes:
Never sit on your scooter with the free wheel in the disengaged position. When
the free wheel device is disengaged, you do not have braking function. Do not
park your scooter on a slope with the free wheel disengaged.
If your scooter is in the free-wheel mode, when you depress the speed control
you will not be able to move under motor power. Depress the free-wheel switch
once again. You will hear a clicking sound of the brakes being re-applied to be
able to start driving your scooter.
General: If you are able to push your scooter, the free-wheel switch is on and the
electromagnetic brakes are disengaged. Please check once more the above-
mentioned procedure for re-engaging the drive.
