Manual Mode (Free Wheeling)
The drive system is equipped with a lever that overrides the electromechanical brake
for manually pushing the Motorized Hand Truck. This option should only be used if the
batteries are too low to drive the system, or if the drive system becomes inoperable. To
disengage the brake, push the lever down until it clicks into the disengaged position.
With the brake in the disengaged position, the ON/OFF switch MUST be turned off, or the
drive system will not move freely. The controller WILL NOT operate the motor when the
brake is disengaged. This is a safety lock-out that prevents the operation of the machine
when the electromechanical brake on the transaxle has been manually released.
NOTE: A safety feature called “push too fast” will aggressively slow the machine down if
the machine begins to move too quickly with the brake released and the power switch off.
Its purpose is to avoid a run- away situation if the operator forgets to re-engage the brake.

Automatic Electronic Braking
The drive system features regenerative braking by which the electronic controller uses the
motor to slow down the machine in both forward and reverse directions. To slow down the
machine, reduce throttle input, or release the throttle lever, and the machine will brake to a
stop.
While driving downhill, this feature allows direct control over the speed of the machine,
as long as the load on the machine does not exceed the design parameters. In addition,
the drive system is equipped with an electromechanical park brake, which is automatically
engaged when throttle input is zero. This locks the machine in place until there is throttle
input from the operator, or the operator manually overrides it in manual mode (see below).
