3. On/Off switch (D)

The on/off/mode switch is located on the rear face of the joystick housing. It is a tog-
gle switch. Turning the chair on or off is accomplished by pressing the switch down-
ward. The switch will automatically return to the center point. Alternate locations
exist for this switch. Please see your supplier in the event that you wish to relocate or
re-orient this switch.

4. Mode Switch (D)

The on/off/mode switch allows you to select from 5 (five) different programmable
drive profiles or actuator mode sets.

• Push up the on/off/mode select toggle switch to index among the five drive and

actuator modes. The selected mode indicator will flash.

• Push joystick either left or right to select one of the five drive profiles. To select

the actuator modes, push the mode select switch twice.

• The drive profiles are indicated by the mode indicators (G) and the actuators are

indicated by the four actuator lights (H).

• To exit drive or actuator mode select, simply push the on/off/mode toggle up

one or more times until the indicator no longer flashes, or push the joystick for-
ward or reverse to begin driving.

5. JOYSTICK (E)

The joystick controls the direction and speed of your chair. Turn the chair on and
move the joystick in the direction you want to go.

• Moving the joystick from the neutral (center) position disengages the motor

locks, allowing the chair to move.

• The chair will move faster the more you move the joystick away from neutral.

NOTE–

If your speed becomes hard to manage, release the joystick and the chair
will come to a complete stop.

• When you release the joystick it will return to neutral; the chair will slow to a

stop and the motor locks will reengage.

• We recommend that you switch the chair off if you stop for any length of time.

This will conserve battery power.

NOTE–

Once the chair stops, switching the chair off will not affect the motor locks.

6. Joystick Boot (F)

Make sure the boot is not torn or cracked (this could allow debris, water or moisture
to enter). If the boot is torn or cracked, replace it as soon as you can.

7. Remote Switch Jacks (optional) (I)

Two 1/8" mono jacks are optional to provide remote switch control of the on/off
power function and the mode select function. Any of the single switches offered by
Sunrise Medical can be used to connect to either or both of these jacks (except the
single zero touch switch).

NOTE–

Program settings that are not matched for the
capabilities of the rider can result in serious
injury. Do not alter settings without the advice
of your health care professional.

C. THERMAL ROLL-BACK

Your chair has a thermal roll-back circuit. This protects
the controller from damage due to overheating. In
extreme conditions (such as repetitive hill climbing) the
circuit will decrease the power to your motors. This
allows the chair to operate at a reduced speed. When the
controller cools, the chair will return to normal speed.

D. CIRCUIT BREAKERS

1. Notes:

Your Quickie Z-500 has two battery boxes,
with a circuit breaker on each box.

• In the unlikely event of a short circuit or heavy

overload, all power to your chair will be shut off.

• To reset your chair, depress the circuit breaker

button(s) on the front of the battery boxes. A
few minutes wait is required before the circuit
breaker(s) will reset.

2. Repeated Shutdown

If the chair continues to shut down after resetting,
have it serviced by a supplier.

E. JOYSTICK ASSEMBLY

The joystick connects to a controller, which controls
the chair’s performance. The joystick assembly consists
of the following parts:
