9.1 General warnings:
WARNINGS!
•
Do not replace the joystick knob with any unauthorised
item. It may cause hazardous operation and loss of
control of the chair.

It is important that the joystick boot is replaced if it is
torn or brittle; failure to do so could cause substance
damage to the controller and unexpected movement
of the chair.
•
Ensure that you always have comfortable access to
the controls whilst the chair is moving and make sure
that the controller is fixed securely to the chair.
9.2 Attendant control:

Ensure that you set the speed of the attendant control
to a speed that you can comfortably follow.

9.3 Parallel swing-away control:
WARNINGS!
•
Before adjusting the swing-away arm, switch off the
controller to avoid accidental displacement of the
joystick which would cause unwanted movement of
your wheelchair.
•
Keep your fingers and clothing, etc. clear while
operating the swing-away mechanism.
•
Be aware that the width of your chair has increased
if the swing-away arm is out and you may not get
between certain obstacles.
•
Do not hang any items on or over the parallel swing-
away remote assembly as this could damage the
swing-away mechanism.
•
When transferring to and from the wheelchair do not
use the remote as a means of support.
•
Ensure the power is switched off while adjusting the
parallel swing-away arm.
•
Only operate the wheelchair at low manoeuvring speed
when the parallel swing-away is in use, (Fig.9.2).
