After any adjustment, repair or maintenance, check all
components and parts for tightness before use, otherwise
damage or injury may occur.
Pushing the brake forward, as the arrow
indicates, will lock the chair in the drive
mode.
Pulling the brake rearward, as the arrow
indicates, will unlock the chair for free
wheel pushing.
Electromagnetic Brake System
The chair has 2 braking modes which can be selected by pushing the brake
levers to “Lock” or “Unlock” position.
In“Lock”position: the internal clutch of the electromagnetic brake is
engaged and the electromagnetic brake is on allowing the chair to move
through the joystick. Having brake in the “Lock” position with the power off
will ensure the chair does not move, allowing the user to get on/off the
chair safely and securely.
In“Unlock”position: the internal clutch of the electromagnetic brake is
disengaged and the chair can be pushed but can't be driven with the
joystick. In “Unlock” position, the motor wheels can move freely even
when the chair is powered off.
CAUTION - Before using the chair, the brake lever must be in
the “LOCK” position so the electromagnetic brake is
engaged and the chair won't freewheel.
1.
Do not operate the chair while the brake is in “Unlock” position, without
the presence of an attendant.
2.
Do not seat yourself in the chair while the brake is in “Unlock” position,
without any assistance from an attendant.
3.
Do not place the chair on an incline or decline while the brake is in
“Unlock” position. The chair may roll out of control and may cause
damage to the chair or bodily harm.
