10. Electromagnetic Brake System
Engage Drive
Free Wheeling
The ZOOMER™’s braking system has two modes: “Drive” and “Free Wheeling” which are labeled as “Lock” and “Unlock”, respectively on the ZOOMER™.
Drive or Lock: When the brake lever is in the “Drive” position, the electromagnetic brake system is “On”. When the ZOOMER™ is moving, releasing the
Joystick or moving it to a neutral position (center), the ZOOMER™ will automatically cause the ZOOMER™’s brake to engage. Only enter and exit the
ZOOMER™ when the levers are in the Drive or Lock position. The rear wheels will not rotate without using the joystick when the Electromagnetic Brake
System is in Drive Position.
Free Wheeling or Unlock: Switch to "Free Wheeling" mode by pushing the position the rear wheels rotate freely so that the ZOOMER™ can be moved
around freely. This mode can be useful if a Caregiver will be pushing the ZOOMER™ with a rider in the chair.
Do not sit in the ZOOMER
™
with the levers in the “Free Wheeling” position without assistance from a caregiver! Never switch the levers to the
“Free Wheeling” position while on an incline! This operating position is dangerous for the ZOOMER
™
, riders and pedestrians if you lose your grip on the chair!
