Brake and free-wheel lever

CAUTION
 Only operate the free-wheel lever when your wheelchair is turned OFF. An attendant should
operate the free-wheel lever. NEVER operate it from sitting position.
 Do not use the free-wheel mode on slopes and inclinations.
Make sure that the free-wheel lever is in its braking position BEFORE switching the
wheelchair ON. Electromagnetic brakes do NOT function if the wheelchair is in free-wheel
mode. This is indicated on the operating console. Driving is not possible.
Your wheelchair is equipped with electromagnetic brakes. The working of the brakes depends on
the position of the free-wheel lever (1).
The EM brakes function automatically, only if free-
wheel lever (1) is in braking position. In this situation,
the brakes start braking if:
 the wheelchair is OFF;
 the wheelchair is ON and the joystick is released.
Releasing the joystick makes the wheelchair stop
gently and activates the brakes.
Operation of free-wheel lever:
 Turn levers UP to put the wheelchair in free-
wheel mode. Now, the motor is disconnected.
The wheelchair can be moved manually.
 Turn levers DOWN to connect the motor to the
drive. This should be done before starting the
wheelchair.
