VR2 Joystick Controller Descriptions
The ROVI
X3 Power Wheelchair comes with a VR2 Joystick, 4 Key Controller (Figure 12) as
®
standard equipment. The joystick controller provides smooth control of speed and direction with
360 degrees of mobility for ease of operation. The joystick is spring-loaded and automatically re-
turns to the upright (neutral position) when released. Push the joystick in a given direction to move
the power wheelchair in that direction. The joystick has proportional drive control – the farther it
is pushed from the neutral position, the faster the wheelchair moves. Maximum speed is limited by
the speed adjustment buttons (increase and decrease). To slow the wheelchair to a STOP, simply
release the joystick.
