3. Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your vehicle, pointing the
joystick away from the neutral position (center) will move the vehicle in the
direction where the joystick is pointing. The farther away (forward/backward) the
joystick is from the neutral position, the faster the vehicle will go. The farther
away to the right/ left the joystick is pointing, the sharper the turn of the vehicle
will be. To operate the vehicle by gently pushing the joystick in the direction you
want to go. Returning the joystick to its neutral position (center) will reduce the
speed and stop the vehicle by automatically applying the electromagnetic brakes.
Notes:
→After pressing the controller ON/OFF switch, allows two seconds to elapse
before engaging the joystick. This is a safety feature to prevent sudden start.
→Gentle operation of the joystick will result in smoother transitions in speed
and direction, while sharp operation of the joystick will result in drastic
transitions in direction and velocity.
→When the wheelchair is in operation, the surface of the charger will become
slightly hot.
→In case of emergency, let go of the joystick and the chair will come to a stop.
