Engaging/Disengaging Motor Release Lever

ƽ WARNING

DO NOT engage or disengage the motor release lever until the On/Off switch on

the joystick is in the Off position.

CAUTION

Ensure both motor release levers are fully engaged before driving the wheelchair

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 10.2 on page 58.

NOTE: The motor lock disengagement/engagement allows freewheeling or joystick controlled 
operation. Freewheeling allows an attendant to maneuver the wheelchair without power.

1. Locate the motor release handles on the motors protruding through the top shroud on 

the rear of the wheelchair.

• To Disengage the Motor Release Levers ‐ Pull the motor lock lever towards the rear 

of the wheelchair (freewheel position).

NOTE: This allows the chair to freewheel for pushing, if necessary.

NOTE: It may be necessary to rock the wheels slightly until the motor release lever disengages.

• To Engage the Motor Release Levers ‐ Push the motor lock handles towards the 

front of the wheelchair (drive position).

NOTE: This allows the motors to drive the wheels.

NOTE: It may be necessary to rock the wheels slightly until the motor release lever engages.
