Chairman Basic Owner's Manual
4. The speed of the wheelchair is regulated steplessly by moving the joystick
forwards or backwards to different extents.
The Permobil 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.
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.
