Manual Brake Release Levers - Teknique FWD Owner's Manual

On occasion it may be necessary to push your Hoveround
motor has a manual brake release lever. Refer to Figure 3A below to locate the
manual brake release levers on your power wheelchair.
• Always verify that the manual brake release levers are in the full
"up" (engaged) position before getting into or out of the seat.
• Releasing the manual brakes (down position) allows power
wheelchair to be pushed or roll on its own on a slope.
Releasing the manual brakes when caregiver is not present or
while on an incline increases the chance of a fall from the seat
or a collision, and can result in serious injury or death.
The levers move downward to release the brake on the motor. When both manual
brake release levers are released, and the power is turned OFF, the chair can be
pushed. When only one manual brake release lever is released, your power wheelchair
cannot be driven. An error code will appear when attempting to operate your
power wheelchair when the brakes are released. Push both manual brake release
levers upward to re-engage the brakes.
