Note:
When the batteries begin to approach a discharged state, the first red LED
will begin to flash slowly, reminding you that the batteries need
to be
charged immediately.
C. Free-Wheeling:
Because the motors are designed to engage the electromagnetic brakes when the
vehicle is not in use or when the power is OFF. They also have a manual feature
that allows them to “free-wheel”. Free- wheeling is accomplished by turning the
free-wheeling levers to the free-wheeling position. (See Fig 22)
Note: 1.Please refer the decal shows the free wheeling direction.

Warning !
→
Never free-wheel your power wheelchair on a slope.
→
Never free-wheel the motors while operating your vehicle.
→
Always remember to engage the motors before turning the power back ON.
D. Electromagnetic Brakes:
Your power wheelchair comes with an Electromagnetic Brakes, i.e. an automatic
magnetic disc safety brake which is also known as Fail-Safe brake. The Electro-
magnetic Brakes are automatic and work when the power wheelchairs is ON but in
a steady state (i.e. Joystick is released to the neutral position), even when the chair
is on a slope. The Electromagnetic Brakes will also be set when-
ever the power wheelchair is OFF, but the motor levers are in the engaged (vertical)
position.
Note: Please refer to the section titled to check brakes in the Maintenance & Repair
section in page 18 to make sure brakes are in good condition.
E. Thermal Protection:
Your power wheelchair controller is equipped with a safety system called thermal
rollback. A built-in circuit monitors the temperature of the controller and motors,
the controller reduces the motor voltage and speed of the power wheelchair. The
reduction of the speed allows the electrical components to cool down.
