Driving - General
Make sure that the control system is mounted securely and that the joystick
position is correct. The body part that you use to operate the joystick should be
supported, for example by the wheelchair arm pad. Do not use the joystick as
the sole support for your hand or limb - wheelchair movements and bumps could
upset your control. Make sure the wheel lock release lever is fully pushed into
the chassis (wheel locks NOT released).

WARNING
Always make sure your feet are correct and securely positioned on the foot plates before you oper-
ate the wheelchair. Use foot straps if needed. Failure to do this increases the risk of personal injury.
1. Switch on the power by pressing the start button on the control panel.
2. Choose profile - VR2 Control system
The control system is normaly not programmed with more then one profile,
but in special applications this can occur. In these cases choose a suitible
profile with the profile/maximum speed button, see page 32.
Choose profile - R-net Control system
Choose a suitible profile with the profile button (if the control system is pro-
grammed with more than one profile), see page. 38.
3. Carefully move the joystick forward to drive forward, and backward to drive
backward.
4. The speed of the wheelchair is adjusted continuously by the joystick
being moved different distances forward and backward respectively. The
wheelchair's electronics allow very slow driving over edges. You can drive
up to the edge, and then carefully drive over it.
