emergency power breakdown situation e.g. When
the wheelchair has to be moved manually to get the
user into a safe environment. It is not intended for
permanent use or to push the wheelchair up/down a
slope with the user sitting in it.
• The wheelchair's automatic braking system will
not work unless the brake release levers are in the
"DRIVE" position.
• Brake release, can also be used if a complete and
catastrophic loss of power such as control system
failure or battery failure has occurred.
• Brake release, should not be habitually used as a
means of transporting the user as if in a manual
wheelchair.
• When the power wheelchair is functioning normally,
the brake release should only be used to park or
store the unoccupied wheelchair.
• Never push the occupied power wheelchair up or
down a slope with the Brake release in freewheel.
• Never attempt to disengage the brake release
mechanism whilst sitting in the wheelchair,
especially on a slope.
• Always ensure the Brake release levers are in the
