Controller Connector:
This is where the controller connects to the power base. The Remote Plus uses a small, multi-pin
communications cable connector.
Charger Fuse:
The charger fuse protects the ammeter from current overload. There are three fuses on the utility tray. The
left one is the charger fuse. The right one is a spare.
Lighting System Connector (Not Shown):
This is where the lighting system connects to the power base. Standard lighting
systems have a single pin connector. Full lighting systems use a 3-pin connector.
Manual Freewheel Lever
For your convenience, your Blast is equipped with a manual freewheel lever. See figures 6 and 7. This lever allows you to
disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use your Blast while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the presence of
an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your Blast is on an incline. The chair could roll
down on its own, causing injury!
CAUTION! It is important to remember that when your Blast is in freewheel mode, the braking system is
disengaged.
To operate the manual freewheel lever:
1. Pull out the manual freewheel lever and rotate it down for freewheel mode (drive disengaged). See figure 6.
2. Rotate the manual freewheel lever up for drive mode (drive engaged). See figure 7.
NOTE: If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your Blast back and forth slightly. The lever should then move to
the desired position.
