Rev.1.0

9.0  Controller Mounts

9.1  General warnings:

WARNINGS!

• 

Do not replace the joystick knob with any 
unauthorised item. It may cause hazardous operation 
and loss of control of the wheelchair.

• 

It is important that the joystick boot is replaced if it is 
torn or brittle; failure to do so could cause substance 
damage to the controller and unexpected movement 
of the wheelchair.

• 

Ensure that you always have comfortable access 
to the controls whilst the wheelchair is moving and 
make sure that the controller is fixed securely to the 
wheelchair.

9.2  Attendant control:

WARNINGS!

• 

Ensure that you set the speed of the attendant control 
to a speed that you can comfortably follow.

• 

Always turn off the power to the controller when 
leaving the user in the wheelchair. (Fig.9.1).

9.3  Parallel swing-away control:

WARNINGS!

• 

Before adjusting the swing-away arm, switch off the 
controller to avoid accidental displacement of the 
joystick which would cause unwanted movement of 
your wheelchair .

• 

Keep your fingers and clothing, etc. clear while 
operating the swing-away mechanism.

• 

Be aware that the width of your wheelchair has 
increased if the swing-away arm is out and you may 
not get between certain obstacles.

• 

Do not hang any items on or over the parallel swing-
away remote assembly as this could damage the 
swing-away mechanism.

• 

When transferring to and from the wheelchair do not 
use the remote as a means of support.

• 

Ensure the power is switched off while adjusting the 
parallel swing-away arm.

• 

Only operate the wheelchair at low manoeuvring 
speed when the parallel swing-away is in use, 
(Fig.9.2).
