FREEWHEEL LEVERS
Freewheel Levers
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with two freewheel levers located under the front of your
seat. See figures 7 and 8. These levers allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use your power chair while the drive motors are disengaged unless you
are in the presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when the power
chair is on an incline. The chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
To engage or disengage the freewheel feature:
1. Turn the freewheel levers inward to disengage the drive motors. See figure 7.
2. Turn the freewheel levers rearward to engage the drive motors. See figure 8.
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode,
the braking system is disengaged.
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your power chair back and forth slightly. The lever should
then move to the desired position.
