Joystick Controls; Joystick Power; Rain And Water; Joystick Lead - Magic Mobility Frontier Owner's Manual

6 Joystick controls

The joystick controls may be customised and may be one of a number of different
models depending upon users requirements. This manual contains detailed
information on the standard joystick control.
6.1

Joystick power

If the power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the
joystick and turn the wheelchair off. Unless the joystick is damaged, this should stop
your power chair.
If the joystick is not in the neutral (centre) position when you turn on the power, you
may cause a fault in the system. Releasing the joystick and turning the power off and
on again will reset the system.
WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to
prevent unexpected movement.
6.2

Rain and Water

The joystick hand control unit IS NOT WATERPROOF. The joystick module is splash
proof but may be permanently damaged if water transgresses the rubber seals (this
damage is not covered under warranty).
We recommend carrying a plastic bag large enough to cover the joystick module and
the user's hand, in case of rain.
6.3

Joystick lead

If for any reason, the joystick lead is disconnected take care when reconnecting, do
not force the plug into the socket. The lead is polarised and should only be fitted one
way.
STOP! Forcing the plug into the socket the wrong way can
permanently damage the electronics system. Also, do not place the
lead so that it can be pinched in the seat frame or the power base
frame.
6.4

Controller program

The controller program affects speed, acceleration, deceleration, and braking. The
drive mode settings are preset at the factory. If your Magic Mobility Dealer changes
these settings, please make note of these changes.
WARNING! Do not attempt to reprogram your chair. Only the power
chair manufacturer, an authorised representative of the manufacturer,
or a trained service technician should program the controller.
