Quantum Jazzy 1650 Series
Manual Freewheel Levers
Your power chair has a manual freewheel lever located on each motor. Manual freewheel levers enable you to disengage
the drive motors from the gearboxes and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use the power chair while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not disengage
the drive motors when the power chair is on an incline, as the unit could roll on its own! Only
engage the freewheel mode when on a level surface.
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the
braking system is disengaged.
NOTE: You must turn off the power before disengaging the drive motors, otherwise you may get an error code
(nine flashing lights) on the controller. To clear this code, turn off the controller and place the power chair in
drive mode. Then turn on the controller. The error message should be cleared. If it fails to clear, contact your
authorized provider/specialist.
To engage or disengage the drive motors:
1. Locate the levers on the front of the power base. See figure 8.
2. Push the two levers inward to engage the drive motors (drive mode).
3. Pull the two levers outward to disengage the drive motors (freewheel mode).
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, slightly rock the power chair back and forth. The lever should then move
to the desired position.
WARNING! Do not use the freewheel lever handles as tie-down points to secure this product.
