Pushing the wheelchair by hand

starts rolling out of control when the joystick box is switched off. When pushing the wheelchair, the
magnetic brakes must be disengaged.

Disengaging motors

Danger of the vehicle running away!
• When the motors are disengaged (for push operation), 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 disengaging the motors is located behind the motors.
Disengaging motors:
• Switch off remote.
• Push the engaging lever down (1). The motors are
now disengaged.
Re-engaging motors
• Pull the engaging lever (1) upwards. The motors
are now re-engaged.
