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.

Charger/Programming Input
