Note:
When the batteries begin to approach a discharged state, the first red LED
will begin to flash slowly, reminding you that the batteries need to be
charged immediately.
C. Free-Wheeling:
Because the motors are designed to engage the electromagnetic brakes when the
vehicle is not in use or when the power is OFF, they also have a manual feature
that allows them to "free-wheel". Free-wheeling is accomplished by turning the
free-wheeling levers to the freewheeling position.(See Fig 14)
Warning !
→Never free-wheel your power wheelchair on a slope.
→Never free-wheel the motors while operating your vehicle.
→Always remember to engage the motors before turning the power back ON.
Note: The free-wheeling lever is designed by special construction to operate
when you want to disengage the electromagnetic brakes. Please press the end
cap and rotate the lever when disengage. (See Fig 14)
Warning !

D. Electromagnetic Brakes:
Your power wheelchair comes with an Electromagnetic Brakes, i.e. an automatic
magnetic disc safety brake which is also known as Fail-Safe brake. The Electro-
magnetic Brakes are automatic and work when the power wheelchairs is ON but in
a steady state (i.e. Joystick is released to the neutral position), even when the chair
is on a slope. The Electromagnetic Brakes will also be set when-
ever the power wheelchair is OFF, but the motor levers are in the engaged (vertical)
position.
