Everest Lite Owner's Manual
GF0600055RevA06, October 006
COntROLLER
See the picture at right. The controller is mounted
below the seat. The controller contains the con-
nectors to the rest of the wheelchair control sys-
tem. The connectors used by the Everest Lite are
labelled in the picture at right - connectors not
labelled in this picture are not used by this wheel-
chair's control system.
Sleep mode:
When wheelchair power is on, but the
wheelchair remains undisturbed for 30 minutes,
the controller automatically shuts off. When this
occurs, switch power off, then on.
HAnd COntROL
See the picture at right. The hand con-
trol is mounted at the front of either
arm. The hand control contains the
joystick, battery charger receptacle
(also used for the optional program-
mer), mounting holes for the extension
bracket, and those features found on
the control panel, shown on the next
page: the ON/OFF button, battery indi-
cator, maximum speed/profile indicator,
horn button, speed profile decrease
button, and speed/profile increase but-
ton. Their descriptions follow.
joystick
The joystick controls the speed and direction of wheelchair travel. The further you
move the joystick from the rest position, the faster your wheelchair will move. When the
joystick is returned to the neutral (center) position or released, the control system will
bring the wheelchair to a smooth stop. Upon stopping, electromechanical park brakes
will engage to prevent the wheelchair from rolling.
Moving the joystick forward (away from the user) causes the wheelchair to move for-
ward. Moving the joystick back (toward the user) causes the wheelchair to travel in re-
verse. When the joystick is moved right to 3 o'clock position, the wheelchair will turn to
the right; when the joystick is moved left to 9 o'clock position, the wheelchair will turn
to the left.
Battery charger receptacle (and receptacle for optional programmer)
The receptacle for the battery charger (and optional programmer) is located on the un-
derside of the hand control, as shown above. Use only the battery charger supplied with
the wheelchair.
Controller cable
The hand control's controller cable plugs into the controller connector on the rear cowl.
