short distances, you can put it in freewheel mode.

the rear section.
2. Push forward on the manual freewheel lever to
disable the drive system and the brake system. You
may now push your vehicle.
3. Push the manual freewheel lever rearward to
reengage the drive and the brake systems; this takes
your vehicle out of freewheel mode.
WARNING! When your vehicle is in
freewheel mode, the braking system is
disengaged.
Disengage the drive motors only on a

level surface.
Ensure the key is removed from the

engage
mode. Never sit on a vehicle to do
this.
After you have fi nished pushing your

vehicle, always return it to the drive
mode to lock the brakes.
WARNING! Do not use the vehicle while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not
disengage the drive motors when the vehicle is on an incline or decline, as the unit
could roll on its own! Only engage the freewheel mode when on a level surface.
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your vehicle is in freewheel mode,
the braking system is disengaged.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you do not charge your batteries while in freewheel mode.
NOTE: You must turn off the power before disabling the drive systems; otherwise, you may get an error code
on the vehicle. To clear this code, turn off the vehicle and place the vehicle in drive mode. Then turn on the
vehicle. The error message should be cleared. If not, contact an authorized Provider.
To engage or disengage the drive system:
1. Locate the levers on the rear section of the vehicle. See fi gure 3.
2. Pull the two levers toward the rear of the vehicle to engage the drive motors (drive mode).
3. Push the two levers toward the front of the vehicle to disengage the drive motors (freewheel mode).
If a lever is diffi cult to move in either direction, rock your vehicle back and forth slightly. The lever should then
