armrest and then the joystick can be moved forwards or backwards to
its desired position. When at the desired position, please tighten the
joystick firmly. (Fig. 4.8).

tipping backwards when driving on a slope (Fig. 4.9). Please do not

There are a set of levers attached to the driving motors. When the
lever is located at A, the wheelchair will be in drive mode, which can
