  • Page 31: Using The Joystick To Drive The Wheelchair

    SECTION 5—WHEELCHAIR OPERATION Using the Joystick to Drive the Wheelchair NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.2. The joystick is located on the joystick housing and provides smooth control of speed and  direction. It is equipped with 360 degrees of mobility for ease of operation. The joystick is  spring‐loaded, and automatically returns to the upright (neutral) position when released.  Pushing the joystick in a given direction causes the wheelchair to move in that direction.  The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that the further it is pushed from the  upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair moves. The maximum speed,  however, is limited by the setting of the speed‐control knob. To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has  automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections. When first learning to drive, select a slow speed and try to drive the wheelchair as slowly  as possible by pushing the joystick slightly forward. This exercise will help you learn to  utilize the full potential of the proportional control and allow you to start and stop  smoothly. To drive the wheelchair, perform the following: 1. Adjust speed control knob to the appropriate setting. 2. Turn the power On. Refer to Turning the Power On/Off on page 30. 3.
