Operation
Your Powerchair is fitted with the latest up to date electronic controls. The
joystick control box is normally fitted to the right side of the chair. Switch on your
Powerchair with the ON/OFF button (A). When the chair is turned on the battery
indicator lamplights up. This also can be used as a fault guide. The chair is ready
for use if the green battery level indicator bars are illuminated (B). The range of
the Powerchair is relative to the number of bars lit.

The joystick controls the speed and direction of the Powerchair. The further the
joystick is moved from its central position the faster the Powerchair will move in
the direction the joy stick is pushed (i.e. pushing the joystick forward will move
the chair forward and vise versa). To slow down, guide the joystick towards its
central position. If the joystick is released it will automatically return the central
(neutral) position and the electromagnetic brakes will be activated.
The speed control knob allows you to alter the speed: by pressing faster speed
button (C) increases the speed and by pressing the slower speed button (D)
decreases the speed. When the joystick is pushed as far as it will only reach the
set speed selected by the speed control buttons. (E) This button operates the
horn. The maximum speed is shown by a 5 segment display (F).
