Electromag netic Brake S ystem:
The chair has 2 braking modes which can be selected by pushing the brake levers to “ Lock” or
“ Unlock” position. This is also refered to as the “ free-wheel lever” .
• In “ Lock” 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
j oystick, the motor wheels will not move. Having brake in the “ Lock” position will ensure the
chair does not move, allowing the user to get on/off the chair safely and securely.
• In “ Unlock” position: The internal clutch of the electromagnetic brake is disengaged. In “ Unlock”
position, the motor wheels can move freely even when the chair is powered off. This will allow
the chair to move manually.

and the electromag netic b rake is eng ag ed to stop the rotation of the motor wheels. T his will
prev ent any accidents from occurring and causing b odily inj ury.
