Brake Override lever:
There will be occasions when you wish to unlock the
brakes so you can freewheel/roll the Ypush along. For instance, when the
Ypush does not have an occupant, has been folded for storage or transpor-
tation, or when rolling the Ypush back into the Travel Roller Bag.
Brakes – Lock & Unlock:
The automatic braking system may be locked and
unlocked by swivelling the bright green override levers
15
located on the
back of each brake handle. See previous page 14.
Direction arrows:
The direction arrows and a "locked" and "unlocked"
symbol are clearly printed on each as indicated by the circles.
Note:
When you receive your Ypush the Override levers may be unlocked,
so be aware of this feature and always check before use.
Unlocking Override lever – (UNSAFE/BRAKES OFF)
After using the Ypush the brake handles should be in the "UP" position.
16
To release the brakes, press down on brake lever as shown by the white
arrow until it pivots fully down onto the top of the main handle.
Hold the brake lever down
17
as shown, and with the other hand swivel the
bright green override lever back, as shown by the black arrow, swivelling
in the direction of the
"unlocked"
symbol printed on the side of the lever,
until you hear a "click" to confirm it is in the correct position.
Locking Override lever – (SAFE/BRAKES ON)
Before using the Ypush check that the override levers are both in the
(SAFE/
BRAKES ON)
position. If they are unlocked, hold the brake handle firmly
down
18
as shown by the black arrow, and using the other hand, "un-click"
and swivel the bright green override lever in the direction of the "locked"
symbol printed on the side, as shown by the green arrow, until it sits flush
on the main handle. Once the green override lever is sat flush on the main
handle, release pressure on the brake lever to allow it to "spring back up" as
shown by the green arrow
19
to the locked
(SAFE/BRAKES ON)
position.

Warning!
When the green brake override levers are pivoted
back unlocked, the braking is disabled.
NEVER
unlock if the Ypush is
on a slope or with an occupant on board!
NEVER
leave one override
lever locked and the other unlocked. You could damage your Ypush
wheelchair and cause injury. Always leave the brakes in the User/
SAFE position
16
when the Ypush is in use.
Warning!
The override levers must both remain in the
Locked
(SAFE/BRAKES ON)
position in normal use. The unlock function is
only to enable moving/freewheeling of the Ypush when unoccupied.
IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY SURE OF THIS FEATURE CONTACT
YOUR DEALER BEFORE OPERATING THE YPUSH.
