Engaging/Disengaging Motor Release Lever - Invacare Pronto M71 Jr. with SureStep Owner's Operator And Maintenance Manual

Engaging/Disengaging Motor Release Lever

DO NOT engage or disengage the motor release lever until the ON/OFF switch on
the joystick is in the OFF position.
Ensure both motor release levers are fully engaged BEFORE driving the wheelchair.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 11.2.
NOTE: The motor lock disengagement/engagement allows free-wheeling or joystick controlled
operation. Free-wheeling allows an attendant to maneuver the wheelchair without power.
1. Locate the motor lock handles on the motors protruding through the shrouds by the
rear springs.
2. Perform one of the following:
• To Disengage the Motor Release Levers - Grasp the motor release lever connected
to the motors and pull out and away from the wheelchair. If necessary rock the
wheelchair gently while pulling on the motor lock handle.
NOTE: This allows the chair to free-wheel for pushing if necessary.
• To Engage the Motor Release Levers - Grasp the motor release lever connected to
the motors and push towards and into the wheelchair. Rock the wheelchair gently
if necessary.
NOTE: This allows the motors to drive the wheels.
