5. OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Make sure that the motor levers are in engaged mode (parallel to the wheels.)
2. Once seated on the power wheelchair, turn on the power (press the power button).
The battery gauge will turn on.
3. We suggest new users operate the power wheelchair in low speed until fully
conversant with all its functions and features.
4. Start to steer, moving the joystick to drive forward, backward, left or right. If you
want to stop the power wheelchair, release the joystick – it will automatically
return to the centre position and stop the power wheelchair.
5. The power wheelchair's speed is automatically reduced by half when the
power wheelchair is turning.
6. When driving the power wheelchair on a slope, push the joystick forward to keep
the power wheelchair continuously climbing until you reach the top of the slope.
While the power wheelchair is climbing a steep slope, position your body forward
to prevent the front wheels from lifting.
7. When driving the power wheelchair down a slope, drive slowly and prepare for
an emergency stop if you feel it is difficult to control the power wheelchair. If the
speed increases, release the joystick to slow down or to stop, then start again at a
slower speed.
