Be aware that there are only the motor brakes to stop your wheelchair. When the motors are
disengaged, these brakes are automatically deactivated. For this reason, pushing the

leave your wheelchair on a gradient with its motors disengaged. Always re-engage the motors
immediately after pushing the wheelchair.
