MANUAL FREEWHEEL LEVER
Manual Freewheel Levers
For convenience, your Pride LX is equipped with two manual freewheel levers that enable you to disengage the
drive motors and maneuver the chair manually, in freewheel mode.
To engage or disengage the drive motors:
1. Locate the two (2) manual freewheel levers on the motors. See figures 18 and 19.
2. Rotate the manual freewheel levers outward to disengage the drive wheels. See figure 18.
3. Rotate the manual freewheel levers rearward to engage the drive wheels. See figure 19.
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock the Pride LX gently back and forth while turning the levers.
The lever should then move to the desired position.
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 while your power chair is on an incline. The
chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
CAUTION! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the braking
system is disengaged.
