11.6 Proportional chin control (Fig.11.6)

The proportional chin control must be used in conjunction with
the Omni Plus module. This is to give visual feedback for the
selection of drive profiles and seating options.
WARNING!
• 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; failing 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.

11.7 MicroPilot Joystick

The Micro Pilot joystick is a miniature joystick based on a
different technology than other mini "throw" based joysticks. As
little as 10 grams of force with virtually no joystick deflection
will activate the chair. All internal metal construction means
outstanding durability, (Fig 11.7).
