Brakes
The MC 1144 is equipped with two sets of brakes: The motor
brake and the parking brake.
Motor braking:
When you drive downhill, the control unit of the MC 1144 ap -
plies the motor brake.
Parking brake:
When the vehicle is stationary and the joystick is not moved, a
magnetic brake is automatically applied to each drive unit. For
driving, the magnetic brake is released first, after which the MC
1144 can be driven as described above.
Note!
You must NEVER brake the MC 1144 by switching off with the
I/O button while moving, as this applies the magnetic brake with
considerable force, with a resulting risk of tipping.
Disengagement:
The MC 1144 is equipped with two disengagement levers: One
on each side of the vehicle.
ALWAYS disengage on both sides.
Warning!
When the wheelchair is disengaged, the braking system is
deactivated. Before an occupant is left unattended or attempts
to operate the wheelchair, make sure that the disengagement
handles are placed in (normal position for driving), which means
it’s connected (the chair can not be pushed).
You must NEVER disengage on sloping terrain. This can lead to
serious damage or personal injury.
