Electromagnetic Brake System
The chair has 2 braking modes which can be selected by pushing the brake levers to “Drive”” or
“Free wheel” position.
• In “Drive” position: the internal clutch of the electromagnetic brake is engaged, and the
electromagnetic brake is started. Before powering on and attempting to operate the control
joystick, the motor wheels will not move. Having brake in the “Drive” position will ensure
the chair does not move, allowing the user to get on/off the chair safely and securely.
• In “Free wheel” position: the internal clutch of the electromagnetic brake is disengaged. In
“Free wheel” position, the motor wheels can move freely even when the chair is powered off.
This will allow the chair to move manually.
CAUTION
Before using the chair, it is important that the brake lever is in “Drive” position and the
electromagnetic brake is engaged to stop the rotation of the motor wheels. This will prevent
any accidents from occurring and causing bodily injury.
1. Do not operate the chair while the brake is in “Free wheel” position, without the presence of
an attendant.
2. Do not seat yourself in the chair while the brake is in “Free wheel” position, without any
assistance from an attendant
3. Do not place the chair on an incline or decline while the brake is in “Free wheel” position,
the chair may roll out of control and may cause damage to the chair or bodily harm.
