Operating The Control Joystick; Maximum Speed/Profile Indicator; The Horn Button; Speed/Profile Decrease Button - Sunrise Medical QUICKIE Q100R General Manual

11.4 Operating the control joystick:

When engaging the main On/Off button, allow a few seconds
prior to moving the joystick. This allows the system to self
check. If you move the joystick too soon, the battery level
indicator display will not illuminate until the joystick is released.
If the joystick is off centre at the time of switching on, after 5
seconds a system error will occur.
Whilst this is not harmful to your wheelchair, you will need to
switch off and then back on to clear the system.
Note: This is a safety feature to prevent unintended movement.
Proportional control summary:
Steering.
To steer the chair simply move the joystick knob in the desired
direction. The further you move the joystick from the central
position, the faster the wheelchair will travel in the direction
the joystick is pushed.
Look ahead while you drive, not at the controls.
Stopping.
When the joystick returns to its central position, the brakes will
activate automatically.
Braking Distance.
On flat ground, braking distance is approximately equal to the
length of the wheelchair. Going downhill the braking distance
may be slightly longer.
Forward/Reverse.
WARNING!
It is important that you stop the wheelchair before you change
direction from forward to reverse.
WARNING!
Always turn the controller off before you transfer in or out of
the wheelchair.

11.5 Maximum speed/profile indicator:

This is a gauge which shows the maximum speed setting for
the wheelchair or if the control system is programmed for
drive profile operation, the selected drive profile. This gauge
also indicates if the speed of the wheelchair is being limited or
if the control system is locked.

11.6 The horn button:

The horn will sound while this button is depressed.

11.7 Speed/Profile decrease button:

This button decreases the maximum speed setting or, if the
control system is programmed for drive profile operation,
selects a lower drive profile.

11.8 Speed/Profile increase button:

This button increases the maximum speed setting or, if the
control system is programmed for drive profile operation,
selects a higher drive profile.
Remember that only with practice will you become a
competent driver. Find a safe, hazard free environment to
practice controlling the wheelchair and familiarise yourself
with the controls and functions.
