If the status indicator is flashing the controller has sensed a fault
condition. Refer to the fault code section of Appendix B (page 39-41)
to determine the cause of the fault. The vehicle will not respond to
move commands if a fault condition is sensed.
7. Move the joystick lever fully right. The chair will move in a circle to the
right. Moving the lever fully left will cause the chair to circle to the left.
8. Gently move the joystick lever backward, and the chair will move slowly
backward. Note that the backward movement is about half the speed of the
forward movement.
9. If you move the joystick lever gently back and to the right, the chair will
move backward to the left and vice versa.
10. Learn the characteristics of the MPV 4 and the limits of your own driving
ability before attempting to drive at higher speed settings.
11. As your skill increases, you may want to increase the Speed/Response Control.
For each increase of the Speed/Response Control, be sure you practice
several stops until you get used to the new stopping distance.
12. The controller has a fast-brake system. To stop quickly move the joystick from
the forward position to a full reverse position and release the joystick. This will
cause the vehicle to stop more quickly.

Warning! Keep the speed low until you are completely com-
fortable with controlling the chair. Practice driving in a wide
open area using movable items such as empty boxes as an
obstacle course to learn how to maneuver your Hoveround
Warning! Do not operate the unit on unstable surfaces.
