VII. OPERATION
Your Alanté Sport is simple to operate. However, for your safety and the safety of others,
Golden Technologies, Inc. recommends that you carefully read and understand the
following operating instructions. We also recommend that you practice operating your
Alanté Sport in an area free of any obstacles. Once you have gained confidence in your
ability to control your power chair, you will more easily be able to operate it in normal
daily conditions.
Before turning on the power of your Alanté Sport, take note of your
environment and set your speed control accordingly. (See "Speed Control Buttons" Figure
10 on page 15) For indoor driving, we recommend that you select the lowest speed
setting. For outdoor driving, we recommend that you select a speed setting at which you
feel comfortable, safe, and in control of your power chair. Familiarize yourself with the
features of your Alanté Sport described below and follow the instructions to safely operate
your power chair.
DRIVING: The Joystick On/Off Switch
Push the on/off button to turn on the power to your Alanté Sport. See Figure 10 on page
15. The 10 LEDs will flash once and a number of LEDs will remain depending on the
state of the battery charge.
♦ The LED (Light Emitting Diode) array, that functions as the battery charge gauge, will
light up. See "Battery Charging" on pages 32-33.
Pressing the on/off button again will turn off the power to your Alanté Sport.
The Speed Control Buttons
These buttons provide you with a way to control the maximum speed of your Alanté
Sport.
♦ Push the "Slow" button repeatedly to set your chair's speed to the slowest setting
(recommended for indoor operation). Slowest speed is indicated by one (1) lit LED section
on the speed indicator scale.
♦ Push the "Fast" button repeatedly to set your chair's speed to its highest setting.
Highest speed is indicated by five (5) lit LED sections on the speed indicator scale.
For your safety, the controller automatically sets the reverse speed,
acceleration, and deceleration in proportion to the speed control setting.
