NOTICE
Risk of damage when parking the wheelchair with the
brake deactivated. Releasing the brake may result in un-
controlled rolling of the power wheelchair. Therefore, en-
sure that the brake is engaged after parking the power
wheelchair.
If the control unit fails or there is not enough battery power,
it is possible to push the power wheelchair by disengaging
the brake by means of the mechanical release mechanism.
The brake release is located on the opposite side of the
fuse / charging receptacle on the lateral frame.
Releasing the brake
For safety reasons, you first need to pull out the brake re-
lease bolt.
INFORMATION
When in this position, the brake must still be engaged!
Should the pushing function already be active at this stage,
please contact your wheelchair supplier.
