The levers are located on each side at the rear
of the wheelchair.

wheels are disengaged, the wheelchair can be
pushed manually.

are connected to the propulsion engines con-
trolled by the Joystick.
4.2 Driving your chair
The direction of the chair depends on the direc-
tion given to the joystick.

4.3 Braking
The system automatically returns to the neutral position when you let go of the joystick. The
motor brake operates and stops the chair immediately. In the parking position, the wheels are
automatically locked by the electromagnetic brakes.
For an emergency stop, reverse the direction of the joystick control beyond the NEUTRAL
position.
