5.8 Pushing the wheelchair
The wheelchair can be moved by pushing. In order to do so, the
motors must be disengaged using a freewheel switch. This feature
was developed for the attendants of wheelchair users and also
functions as an emergency freewheel switch.
The freewheel switch has 2 positions
1. For driving the wheelchair. (Fig. 5.6).
'Drive' position: Turn the switch so that the lever at the drive wheel
side is pointing upwards.
2. For disengaging the motors. (Fig. 5.7 - Fig.5.8).
'Push' position: Turn the switch so that the lever at the drive wheel
side is pointing downwards.
DANGER!
• The free wheel switch should only be operated by the attendant
and never by the user.
• A user may never be left unattended while the wheelchair is in
'push'.
• Never set the switch to the 'push' position on a slope! When the
freewheel switch is set to 'push', the automatic parking brake is
deactivated. This makes it possible for the wheelchair to roll down
the slope.
• The automatic parking brake only works is the switch is set to
'drive' position.
• When the wheelchair is no longer being pushed, the freewheel
switch should be set to 'drive' immediately.
• To manually push the system you must release the motor brakes.
• Do not engage or disengage motor brakes unless power to the
system is off.
• Make sure you have full control over the system when you release
the motor brakes. When you do so the system will not have brakes.
• Make sure the system is on level ground before you release the
motor brakes.
• Propel this system by the push handles only. They provide secure
points for you to hold the rear of the system to prevent a fall or
tip-over.
• Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
