WARNING
Risk of death due to brake malfunction. Incorrect brake
settings can lead to a loss of brake functionality and there-
fore to serious bodily injuries and even death. Repairs and
adjustments to the brake may only be carried out by au-
thorised service personnel.
WARNING
Risk of accidents and injury due to lack of brake func-
tionality. When the brake is deactivated (push mode), no
brake functionality is available. When moving the power

wheelchair on an incline, the person pushing must provide
the appropriate brake force.
NOTICE
Risk of damage when parking the wheelchair with the
brake deactivated. Deactivating the brake may result in
uncontrolled rolling of the power wheelchair. Therefore,
make sure that the brake is engaged when parking the
power wheelchair.
In case of control unit failure or insufficient battery capacity,
the power wheelchair can be pushed. To do so, the brake is
released by mechanically unlocking it. The brake release
mechanism is located between the frame and seat.
Releasing the Brake
For safety reasons, you first need to pull up on the brake
release bolt (see Figure 21).
In this position, the brake still has to be engaged!

deactivated, the control unit emits an error signal on the
control panel. If this is not the case, there is a malfunction
that must be corrected immediately by a specialist dealer.
