PG Controller Operation
The joystick controls may be customised and may be one of a number of
different models depending upon users requirements. This manual
contains information on the standard joystick control.
1. Joystick power
If the power wheelchair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately
release the joystick and turn the wheelchair off. Unless the joystick is damaged,
this should stop your power chair.
If the joystick is not in the neutral(centre) position when you turn on the power,
you may cause a fault int the system. Releasing the joystick and turning the
power off and on again will reset the system.
WARNING ! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to
prevent unexpected movement.
2. Rain and Water
The joystick hand control unit IS NOT WATERPROOF. The joystick module is
splash proof but may be permanently damaged if water transgresses the
rubber seals (thhis damage is not covered under warranty).
We recommend carrying a plastic bag large enough to cover the joystick
module and the user’s hand, in case of rain.
3. Controller program
The controller program affects speed, acceleration, deceleration, and braking.
The drive mode settings are preset at the factory.
WARNING ! Do not attempt to reprogram your chair. Only the power
chair manufacturer, an authorised representative of the manufacturer, or
a trained service technician should program the controller.
