SAFE OPERATION
It is mandatory to have an on/off switch on the wheelchair which immediately shuts down the chair
power and its electronics. It must be within easy reach of the user while operating the wheelchair.
This allows the user to instantly stop the wheelchair in case of problems or an emergency.
If the wheelchair responds in an unexpected way during use, the user should immediately release the
joystick and/or use the power on/off switch.
Do not use the
All-Round Lite Joystick
if any of the following conditions apply:
▪
The joystick handle is damaged, cracked, or missing.
▪
The joystick does not return to its default (center) position independently.
▪
The joystick does not move to and from its default (center) position smoothly.
In order to change the joystick tip, gently pull on the tip until it lifts off the joystick's metal rod. Place
the replacement tip on the metal rod until it sits firmly in place.
WARNING
The on/off switch must be available to the user
at all times while operating the wheelchair.
WARNING
Always power off the device when the user is no longer in the wheelchair
to avoid unauthorized access or accidental movements.
WARNING
Do not cover or block the device to avoid uncontrolled
behavior of the device or wheelchair.
