6.2 brake button
The brake prevents the belts from moving unless a paddle is
pressed. By default, the brake is engaged when the system
has power. To disengage or re-engage the brake, press the
brake button
on the control panel (Figure 18).
Disengage the brake to allow the belts to rotate without
power (for example, to descend stairs without using the
power system).
Depending on the version of the software, both the display
and indicator light will change to match the current state of
the brake. Refer to the images at right.

The brake is engaged ONLY when the system
has power. If the battery charge is depleted,
the brake will disengage. Use additional help
as needed.
