12 Joystick
All functions of the wheelchair can be
controlled with this joystick module. This
joystick module can be mounted on the left or
right armrest. Joystick module contains a few
major components which will be explained
separately.
12.1 Charging socket
The charging socket is used to charge the batteries. Whilst charging
the batteries, the driving of the wheelchair is automatically blocked.
12.2 Joystick
The primary function of the joystick is to control the speed and
direction of the wheelchair. The further you push the joystick from the
center position the faster the wheelchair will move. When you release
the joystick the brakes are automatically applied. If the wheelchair is
fitted with powered seat functions, the joystick can also be used to
move the specific powered seat function.
The joystick is used to drive the wheelchair. Just push the joystick into
the direction you want to drive, and the wheelchair will start to move in
that direction. (Also refer to the driving technique chapter)
We strongly recommend practicing the function of the joystick before
starting to drive with the wheelchair.
