Drive/Freewheel Mechanism
The Powerchair will not function while the drive mechanism is disengaged (in
freewheel).
Both left and right sides must be in drive mode for power chair to operate.
Otherwise the Powerchair motors will spin, but the unit will not move, until both
freewheel levers are engaged. Unit will spin in circles if only one side is in drive
mode.
*** DO NOT PUT INTO DRIVE MODE WHILE MOTORS ARE SPINNING ****
The drive/freewheel levers are found toward the rear of the Powerchair (Fig. 2). The
freewheel levers (with yellow end cap) will allow you to disengage the drive
mechanism (When the levers are pulled out away from the unit) the Powerchair is in
freewheel mode. *** NOTE *** the joystick controller will not work in Freewheel mode.
When the levers are pushed in (towards the inside of the unit) the motors are
engaged and the powerchair is in drive mode.
