Turning on the wheelchair
Do not touch or move the joystick during

ond)!

Flashing lights or a sequential series
of lights in
the battery indicator

pre-set maximum speed indicator
(19),
respectively, indicate various error mes-
sages or information. – Follow the in-
structions in the chapter

If the
pre-set maximum speed indicator
fails to light up when the wheelchair

attendant control mode. – Follow the
instructions in the chapter
Attendant
control
on page 25.
When you have finished driving, turn off the
joystick module by pressing the on/off but-
ton (9). This disables the electric wheelchair.
