SPJ™Joystick Switches and Indicators

NOTE: For the following information, refer to FIGURE 5.1.

Multi Function Charger Port

The multi function charger port is located at the front of the joystick housing. This provides easy access for charging the wheelchair batteries. This port also serves as the Remote Programmer Communication connection.

On/Off Toggle Switch

This toggle switch is located at the back of the joystick housing.

Speed Control switch

The speed control switch is located on the back of the joystick housing. This rotary switch is used for controlling the speed and acceleration of the wheelchair.

1.Turn the switch clockwise to increase the speed of the wheelchair.

2.Turn the switch counterclockwise to decrease the speed of the wheelchair.

Joystick

The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that further the joystick is pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair moves. Your top speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speed-control knob and programmed settings.

To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections.
