In order to change the joystick tip, gently pull on the tip until it lifts off the joystick's metal rod.
Functioning Connection Options The Multi Joystick can connect one or two switches to either the joystick or the interface. One connection is to power the on/off function and the other is to act as an input or user switch for the wheelchair.
Installation Instructions Preparations Only a qualified service technician should install the Multi Joystick and its accessories. An incorrect installation of wheelchair electronics may cause damage to the WARNING hardware and/or injury to the user. Any connection must always be secured with all the delivered screws. CAUTION Only use the screws provided with the device.
