9 Controller Mounts
9.1 General warnings
Do not replace the joystick knob with any unauthorised item. It may
cause hazardous operation and loss of control of the chair.
It is important that the joystick boot is replaced if it is torn or brittle;
failure to do so could cause substance damage to the controller and
unexpected movement of the chair.
Ensure that you always have comfortable access to the controls whilst
the chair is moving and make sure that the controller is fixed securely
to the chair.
9.2 Attendant control
Ensure that you set the speed of the attendant control to a speed that
you can comfortably follow.
Always turn off the power to the controller when leaving the user in
the chair. (see "attendant control" picture below).
9.3 Parallel swing-away control
Before adjusting the swing-away arm, switch off the controller to avoid
accidental displacement of the joystick which would cause unwanted
movement of your wheelchair.
Keep your fingers and clothing, etc. clear while operating the swing-
away mechanism.
Be aware that the width of your chair has increased if the swing-away
arm is out and you may not get between certain obstacles.
Do not hang any items on or over the parallel swing-away remote
assembly as this could damage the swing-away mechanism.
When transferring to and from the wheelchair do not use the remote
as a means of support.
Keep fingers, clothing, etc. clear of the swing-away mechanism at all
times.
Ensure the power is switched off while adjusting the parallel swing-
away arm.
Only operate the wheelchair at low manoeuvring speed when the
parallel swing-away is in use. (see "parallel swing-away" picture on
the right).
