Operating the control joystick:
When engaging the main On/Off button, allow a few
seconds prior to moving the joystick. This allows the system
to self check. If you move the joystick too soon, the battery
level indicator display will not illuminate until the joystick is
released.
If it is off null for more than 5 seconds a system error will
occur. Whilst this is not harmful to your wheelchair, you will
need to switch off and then back on to clear the system.
NOTE: This is a safety feature to prevent unintended
movement.
Proportional control summary
1. To steer, move the joystick in the direction you wish
to go.
2. The further you move the joystick, the faster you will
go.
3. The brakes will automatically stop the wheelchair from
any speed when the joystick is released.
WARNING!
New users should use slower speeds until they feel
confident when driving the wheelchair.
WARNING!
It is important that the chair is stationary when changing
direction from reverse to forward.
WARNING!
Always switch off before getting into or out of the chair.
Maximum speed/profile indicator:
This is a gauge which shows the maximum speed setting for the
wheelchair or if the control system is programmed for drive
profile operation, the selected drive profile. This gauge also
indicates if the speed of the wheelchair is being limited or if
the control system is locked.
