Joystick.
The primary function of the joystick is to control the
speed and direction of the wheelchair. The further you push the
joystick from the center position the faster the wheelchair will
move. When you release the joystick the brakes are automatically
applied.
2.
On / Off button.
The on/off button applies power to the control
system electronics, which in turn supply power to the wheelchair’s
motors. Do not use the on/off button to stop the wheelchair unless
there is an emergency. (If you do, you may shorten the life of the
wheelchair drive components). The battery gauge shows you that
the wheelchair is switched on. It also indicates the operating status
of the wheelchair.
3.

Press this button to increase the
maximum speed of the wheelchair.
4.
Decrease Speed / Profile.

maximum speed of the wheelchair.
