Braking
12
To brake the Foldalite simply release the joystick controller to the centre, with no pressure
on it in any direction.
Electromagnetic Brake System:
The chair has 2 braking modes which can be selected by pushing the brake levers to “Lock” or
“Unlock” position. This is also refered to as the “free-wheel lever”.
• 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.
