A. Joystick manoeuvering
The joystick (4) allows you to control the speed (within the range defined by the speed
buttons) and the direction of the chair. The further forward you push it, the more you
increase the speed.
To reverse, pull it backwards, move the joystick left or right to steer. If you push the joystick
completely to the right or left the chair will turn in it’s tightest possible turning circle. Your
chair has the option of being equipped with a reversing camera and screen.
To slow down guide the joystick towards the central, neutral position. To stop, release the
joystick. It automatically comes back to a central position and the chair stops. If there is a
problem press the on/off button (1).
When stopped while using the wheels, the chair is blocked by the electromagnetic brakes,
even on a slope where the authorised gradient limit has not been surpassed ( paragraph VII
technical characteristics), the backrest is at an angle of less than 20° relative to the vertical,
and the seating angle is as horizontal as possible.
The electromagnetic brakes are released manually, which is useful when the chair is being
pushed by a third party (paragraph III manual release).
It is possible to programme the system to render the speed buttons unoperational, or the
user can regulate the maximum speed to suit the environment by pushing the speed control
buttons. The current speed is displayed on the speedometer (7).
B. Speeds
Select the fastest speed mode (3) to increase the maximum speed. The largest value is attained
when the 5 indicator lights are illuminated (7).
Select the slowest speed mode (2) to decrease the maximum speed. The lowest possible
value is attained when only one light is lit on the indicator. (7).
C. Horn
Push the button (5) to sound the horn.
D. Charge light
The charge light (6) is the principal source of user information.
Consult the graph on page 16.
Do not wait for the red lights to charge your chair.
E. Special functions
If the chair is equipped with special functions ( electric headrest and footrest controls), the
‘mode’ button (8) gives access to these functions.
