Disengaging Motors

Danger of the vehicle running away!
• When the motors are disengaged (for push operation whilst freewheeling), the
electromagnetic motor brakes are deactivated! When the vehicle is parked, the levers for
engaging and disengaging the motors must without fail be locked firmly into the "DRIVE"
position (electromagnetic motor brakes activated)!
The lever for engaging and disengaging the motor is located
on the right-hand side at the rear.
Disengaging the drive

•
Press the unlocking knob on the disengaging lever (1).
• Push the disengaging lever forwards. The drive is now
disengaged.
Engaging the drive
•
Pull the lever to the rear.
