Magnetic Brake
Your vehicle is equipped with a magnetic parking brake, there
are several things you need to be aware of.
01. The magnetic parking brake engages automatically every time
your vehicle comes to a complete stop.
02. The magnetic brake is disengaged by stepping on the
accelerator pedal.
03. In the event you need to manually push your vehicle, you can
use the MANUAL EMB function.
In the battery compartment under the seat, flip the main switch
to the MANUAL EMB position.
This sends electrical current to the magnetic brake,
disengaging it, and allowing the cart to be manually pushed.
One the vehicle has been pushed to its desired location, flip the
switch to either the OFF position, or the AUTO EMB position.
04. While the vehicle is in the MANUAL EMB setting, the vehicle will
have no parking brake, and the vehicle will freely roll. Do not
leave a vehicle unattended in the MANUAL EMB setting as the
vehicle may roll and injure someone.
05. DO NOT LEAVE THE SWITCH IN THE MANUAL
EMB SETTING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. This may
result in damage to the magnetic brake.
06. If your vehicle has had a catastrophic battery or other
failure and does not have the necessary 48 volts required to
disengage the magnetic brake, you may disengage it manually.
Instructions on manually disengaging the magnetic brake are
on the next page.
How to Manually Disengage the Magnetic Brake
01. Locate the magnetic brake assembly behind the right
rear wheel.
02. Of the (5) screws on the magnetic brake assembly,
locate the (2) smaller ones.
03. With a #4 Allen wrench, lightly tighten the (2) smaller
bolts. (DO NOT over-tighten).
04. Once the smaller (2) bolts are tightened, the vehicle
may be manually pushed.
05. The magnetic brake will NOT be able to re-engage until
the (2) small bolts are loosened back up.
06. When the vehicle has had the (2) small screws on the
magnetic brake tightened, the vehicle will have no
parking brake and will freely roll. Do not leave a vehicle
unattended in the MANUAL EMB setting as the vehicle
may roll and injure someone. Leaving the vehicle in
MANUAL EMB can result in overheating of the EMB
resulting in premature failure, damage to batteries, and
risk of burn injuries.
