Speed Control

The speed control knob is located on the side of the joystick housing.

1.Rotate the knob clockwise (forward) to increase the speed of the wheelchair to the programmed max speed.

2.Rotate the knob counterclockwise (backward) to decrease the speed of the wheelchair to the programmed max speed.

Joystick

The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that the further the joystick is pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair or seat moves. Your top speed, however, is limited by the 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

The charger/programming input 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. Driving is prevented while the system is charging.

LCD Display Screens

The LCD Display is located in front of the joystick and provides information on the status of the wheelchair through a backlit display. The LCD display is readable in both bright sunlight and complete darkness.
