10. Using the Wheelchair more Comfortably

The JWX-2 has a variety of features to improve its controllability. Use these features according to 
your purposes. For information on the wheelchair frame to which JWX-2 is attached, see the owner’s 
manual from the frame manufacturer.

10.1. Removing and Installing the Unit

The power units of the JWX-2 can be removed from the frame when replacing the current wheels with 
manual wheels or when transporting the wheelchair.

(1)

Removing the power units from the frame

1

Turn off the power and remove the battery. Put the protective cap on the removed battery.

2

Disconnect the connectors “a” of the cables from the 
right power units. To disconnect a connector, turn 
the outer ring on the connector counterclockwise 
until it stops, and then pull out the connector.

3

Place the wheelchair so that it will not become 
unstable when the power units are removed.

4

Release the parking brakes.

5

While holding the hub with hand and pulling the 
middle of the center ring “a” with your fingers, pull 
out each power unit using both hands.
