Proportional control

Your wheelchair is fitted as standard with a side mounted proportional control (Fig. 39) This supplies a smooth flow of electrical power to your motors via the movement of the joystick. Push the joystick gently forward to increase forward speed. When the joystick is at its full extent your powerchair is travelling at full speed as set by the speed setting lever on the rear of the control box. As the joystick is released the wheelchair will automatically engage motor brakes and stop. In front of the joystick is a green push-button switch which turns the controller on and off. Do not use this switch to stop the wheelchair except in an emergency.
