3. Set an appropriate maximum speed by pressing the decrease or increase

4. Carefully move the joystick forward to drive forward, and backward to drive
backward.
5. The speed of the wheelchair is adjusted continuously by the joystick being
moved different distances forward and backward respectively. The
wheelchair's electronics make creep driving possible over edges (max.
50mm.). You can drive up to the edge, and then carefully drive over it.
15.2 Driving technique
The electronic control system of the wheelchair “reads” your joystick
movements and transforms these “commands” into movements of the
wheelchair. You will need very little concentration to control the wheelchair,
which is especially useful if you are
inexperienced. One popular technique is
to simply point the joystick in the direction
you want to go. The wheelchair will move
in the direction you push the joystick.
Always think about driving as flexibly and
fluently as possible and avoid heavy
braking and avoidance maneuvers. The
smoother you move the joystick, the
smoother the wheelchair will drive.
Always make sure the wheelchair is switched off before entering or leaving
the wheelchair. If the wheelchair is switched on during transferring, there is
a danger the joystick will be touched, and the wheelchair will move.
Do not perform the first test drive on your own. The test drive is of course
just a check of how you and the wheelchair function together, and you may
need some assistance.
Before driving, check that the wheel freewheel is set in the drive position.
