5. Joystick (E)
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your chair. Turn the chair on and move the joystick in the direction you want to go.
•Moving the joystick from the neutral (center) position disengages the motor locks, allowing the chair to move.
•The chair will move faster the more you move the joystick away from neutral.
NOTE– If your speed becomes hard to manage, release the Joystick and the chair will come to a complete stop.
•When you release the joystick it will return to neutral; the chair will slow to a stop and the motor locks will reengage.
•We recommend that you switch the chair off if you stop for any length of time. This will conserve battery power.
NOTE– Once the chair stops, switching the chair off will not affect the motor locks.
6. Joystick Boot (F)
Make sure the boot is not torn or cracked (this could allow debris, water or moisture to enter). If the boot is torn or cracked, replace it as soon as you can.
7. Remote Switch Jacks (optional) (I)
Two 1/8" switch jacks are optional to provide remote switch control of the on/off power function and the mode select function. Any of the single switches offered by Sunrise Medical can be used to connect to either or both of these jacks (except the single zero touch switch).
1.Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop your chair except in an emergency. This will result in an abrupt stop, and may cause you to fall.
2.To slow or stop your chair, return the joystick to neutral.
