4.4 Free wheel lever
The wheelchair can also be moved by
pushing In order to do so, the motors must be
disengaged using a freewheel switch (figure 7).
This feature was developed for the attendants
of wheelchair users, to push manually, in other
words without power assistance
The freewheel switch has two positions:
1 The ‘Drive’ position
2 The ‘Push’ position
Warning!
The freewheel switch should only be
operated by the attendant and never by the
user
Never set the switch to ‘push’ on a slope!
When the freewheel switch is set to ‘push’,
the automatic parking brake is deactivated
This makes it possible for the wheelchair to
roll down the slope
The automatic parking brake only works if
the switch is set to the ‘drive’ position
When the chair is no longer being pushed
manually, the freewheel switch should be set
to ‘drive’ immediately
