4. The speed of the wheelchair is regulated proportionally by moving the joystick
forwards or backwards to different extents. The wheelchair's electronics make it
possible to move slowly over curbs and other obstacles. You can drive up to the
curb or obstacle and then carefully drive over it.
When you drive down an obstacle or a steep slope, you must drive slowly and
brake gently. The maximum speed should be set to low speed. You can brake
gently by pulling the joystick back to a position just before the neutral position.
When the speed has been reduced, you can let the joystick go.
NB: The wheelchair moves at reduced speed if the seat is raised. You can only
drive at full speed if the seat is in its lowest position. Raising the seat lift raises
the center of gravity and increases the risk of tipping. Therefore, you should only
use the seat lift when driving on level ground and not on hilly, or bumby ground.
Steering
The wheelchair can be turned in the required direction by moving the joystick to
one side or the other while driving forwards or backwards.
