in neutral on slopes. It may accidentally roll away.
The wheelchair is fitted with a freewheel device that is accessible and operable by the

on both motors.

of both motors in the position of the symbol for driving.
Switch the operator control out and in. Electronically controlled driving is now
possible.
NEUTRAL
Pull the adjusting levers
of both motors in the position of the symbol for neutral and
you will activate the wheelchair's free-running mode. The wheelchair can now be
pushed without electronic drive.
In free wheel mode, the electronic brake is deactivated and the wheelchair will no
longer be held back. Do not activate free wheel mode on slopes.

You should only use free-running to
transport the wheelchair or to move it out of
a danger zone.

When free-running is activated, the
electromagnetic braking system is
deactivated, so the wheelchair is no longer
secured against rolling away. Take care not
to set the wheelchair down on slopes or
uneven terrain, or it may accidentally roll
away.

The electronic system will indicate, through
the lock symbol flashing, that electronic
driving is not possible.
