Electromagnetic Brake System
The chair has 2 braking modes which can be selected by pushing the brake
levers to “Lock” or“Unlock” position.
In“Lock”position: the internal clutch of the electromagnetic brake is
engaged and the electromagnetic brake is started. Before powering on and
attempting to operate the control joystick, the motor wheels will not move.
Having brake in the “Lock” position will ensure the chair does not move,
allowing the user to get on/off the chair safely and securely.
In“Unlock”position: the internal clutch of the electromagnetic brake is
disengaged. In “Unlock” position, the motor wheels can move freely even
when the chair is powered off. This will allow the chair to move manually.
CAUTION - Before using the chair, it is important that the brake
lever is in “LOCK”position and the electromagnetic brake is
engaged to stop the rotation of the motor wheels. This will prevent
any accidents from occurring and causing bodily injury.
