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.
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.
Note: Please refer to the section titled to check brakes in the Maintenance & Repair section in page 20 to
make sure brakes are in good condition.
E. Thermal Protection:
Your power wheelchair controller is equipped with a safety system called thermal rollback. A built-in
circuit monitors the temperature of the controller and motors, the controller reduces the motor voltage
and speed of the power wheelchair. The reduction of the speed allows the electrical components to cool
down. Although your power wheelchair will resume its normal speed when the temperature returns to a
safe level, we recommend that you turn the power off and wait for 5 minutes before restarting to allow
the components to cool down if you find that you have lost speed suddenly.
