Engaging/Disengaging The Brake Release Lever - Invacare Leo Owner's Operator And Maintenance Manual

Engaging/Disengaging the Brake Release Lever

Ensure that the brake-release lever is in the engaged position before driving. There should be an
audible "click" when stopping and starting the scooter.
NOTE: For the following procedure, refer to FIGURE 7.2.
The brake release lever manually engages and disengages the brake. The brake release lever is located under the seat on the
right side.
The brake must be engaged in normal driving conditions. Activation of the throttle control lever automatically releases the
brake so that the powered scooter can drive. Releasing the throttle control lever automatically engages the brake so as to
prevent the powered scooter from rolling on its own.
When the brake release lever is disengaged and the key is removed, the powered scooter can be pushed. The powered
scooter cannot be driven with the brake in the disengaged position.
1. To engage the brake release lever (Drive) ‐ Depress the button and pull back the brake release lever.
2. To disengage the brake release lever (Push) ‐ Depress the button and push the brake release lever forward .
