SECTION 5—WHEELCHAIR OPERATION
SPJ™Joystick Switches and Indicators
NOTE: For the following information, refer to FIGURE 5.3.
Multi-Function Charger Port
Located at the front of the joystick housing. This provides easy access for charging the
wheelchair batteries. This port also serves as the Remote Programmer Communication
connection.
On/Off Toggle Switch
This toggle switch is located at the back of
the joystick housing.
Speed Control Knob
The speed control knob is located on the
back of the joystick housing. This rotary
switch is used for controlling the speed
and acceleration of the wheelchair.
1. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the
speed of the wheelchair.
2. Turn the knob counterclockwise to
decrease the speed of the wheelchair.
Joystick
The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that further the wheelchair is
pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster it moves. Your top speed, however,
is limited by the setting of the speed‐control knob and programmed settings.
To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has
automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections.
Information Gauge Display
Located on the front of the joystick housing, it provides the following information to the
user on the status of the wheelchair:
• Power is On.
• True state‐of‐battery‐charge, including notification of when the battery requires
charging:
A. GREEN LED is lit, indicating well charged batteries.
B. Only AMBER LEDs are lit, indicating batteries are moderately charged. Recharge
batteries before taking a long trip.
C. Only RED LED is lit, indicating batteries are running out of charge. Recharge
batteries as soon as possible.
