Around the lever is an instruction sticker which shows the direction to open or
lock the mechanical brake. Move the lever into the "open" position on each
motor. Now the wheelchair is in freewheel mode and can be pushed.
To lock the brakes, move the lever into the "lock
” position on both motors.
If you want to put the wheelchair into freewheel mode, be sure to switch
the electronics first. Leaving the electronics switched on will result a large
resistance whilst pushing in freewheel mode.
Always make sure that, when positioned on slopes, the brakes are
attached (no Freewheel). If the wheelchair is in freewheel mode, there is a
risk that the wheelchair might start to move in an uncontrolled way. This
might lead to personal or material damage.
If the parking brake is released (free-wheel mode), the wheelchair cannot
be driven by the electronics. Therefore, the release of the brakes should
only be done in emergency cases and or for servicing. If the user is on
board, the parking brakes should always be attached.
