Joystick

The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you move the joystick from the netural (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The further you push the joystick from its neutral position, the faster your power chair moves. When you release the joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic brakes. This causes your power chair to decelerate

WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.

On/Off Key

This is an on/off key located in front of the joystick which turns the DL-50 on and off.

WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do not use the on/off push button to stop the chair. This will cause the power chair to stop abruptly.

WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement.

Battery Condition Meter

The battery condition meter is located behind the joystick. This is a six-segment, three-color illuminated display that indicates if the DL50 is turned on and also gives the battery status, the DL-50 status, and the electrical system status. All six red lights lit represents a full state-of-charge and a single red light lit represents lowest state-of- charge.Alow state-of-charge warning is represented by the left-most light flashing on and off.

NOTE: Check your battery condition meter regularly and charge the batteries before they are completely discharged.
