3.1 Programming the Wheelchair/ Power Positioning System
IMPORTANT! For more detailed information on the operation of your specific wheelchair power base
and/or joystick, please consult the Joystick/Remote Owners Manual and/or the Wheelchair Power
Base Owners/Operators Manual - provided separately by the power base manufacturer.
Can programming of the power positioning system be modified?
• Each power positioning system is factory programmed prior to delivery based on the system
requirements and based on safe operating limits.
• Program modifications may be carried out to fit your individual requirements if required. For safety
purposes, Motion Concepts strongly recommends that all program modifications be performed by a
trained/qualified service technician. Note: Certain program/controller modifications require the use of a
specialized hand-held 'programmer' that is only available from your service provider
WARNING! Changes to the drive programme can affect the driving characteristics and tipping
stability of the vehicle.
• Motion Concepts factory sets all wheelchair systems with a standard drive programme to ensure
safe operating limits for the finished system.
• Changes to the drive programme (maximum acceleration and deceleration of the wheelchair) must
only be carried out by trained Motion Concepts Dealers! Unauthorized adjustments beyond safe
operating limits will compromise the limited warranty.

3.2 Operating the Power Positioning System via the Joystick

For complete instructions on the safe set-up and operation of the power positioning system through the
joystick, please refer to the Joystick/Remote Owners Manual and/or the Power Base Owners/Operators
Manual provided separately by the power base manufacturer.
In most instances, the power positioning functions available on your Motion Concepts seating system
may be programmed to be operated by means of the joystick control. In order to access/operate the
motor functions via the joystick, the joystick must be switched from 'Drive Mode' to the 'Power Positioning
Mode'. (This is typically accomplished via a Mode Switch on the joystick). The joystick display/features
will vary from one manufacturer to the next; please refer to the Joystick Owners Manual for more
detailed operating instructions.

be configured to operate in Toggle mode or Direct mode (refer to Section 3.4).

3.2.1 Programming the Joystick:

WARNING! To ensure your seating system is programmed correctly and safely, Motion Concepts
recommends that all programming, including joysticks, be performed by a Qualified Technician.
Depending on the type of system electronics installed, a specialized hand-held programmer may be
required to program the seat functions into the joystick. For systems equipped with our M-Series electronics,
the remote attendant control (see 4.1.2) is used to program/assign specific motor functions to the joystick.
Please refer Section 4.0 for more detailed information on our system electronics.
