Joystick

The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that further the wheelchair is pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster it 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.

Information Gauge Display

Located on the front of the joystick housing, it provides the following information to the user on the status of the wheelchair:

Power is On.

True state‐of‐battery‐charge, including notification of when the battery requires charging:

A.GREEN LED is lit, indicating well charged batteries.

B.Only AMBER LEDs are lit, indicating batteries are moderately charged. Recharge batteries before taking a long trip.

C.Only RED LED is lit, indicating batteries are running out of charge. Recharge batteries as soon as possible.
