Manual Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers. See figures 7 and 8. These
levers allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use your power chair while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not disengage
the drive motors when your power chair is on an incline or decline, as the unit could roll on its
own. Only engage the freewheel mode when on a level surface.
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the
braking system is disengaged.
To engage or disengage the freewheel feature:
1. Turn the freewheel levers outward to disengage the drive motors (freewheel mode). See figure 7.
2. Turn the freewheel levers inward to engage the drive motors (drive mode). See figure 8.
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your power chair back and forth slightly. The lever should
then move to the desired position.
WARNING! Do not use the freewheel lever handles as tie-down points to secure this product.
