Usage
6.6 Using the Joystick to Drive the Wheelchair
The joystick is located on the joystick housing and provides smooth
control of speed and direction. It is equipped with 360 degrees of
mobility for ease of operation. The joystick is spring-loaded, and
automatically returns to the upright (neutral) position when released.
Pushing the joystick in a given direction causes the wheelchair to
move in that direction.
The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that the further
it is pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster the
wheelchair moves. The maximum speed, however, is limited by the
setting of the speed-control knob.
To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The
wheelchair has automatic speed and direction compensation to
minimize corrections.
When first learning to drive, select a slow speed and try to drive
the wheelchair as slowly as possible by pushing the joystick slightly
forward. This exercise will help you learn to utilize the full potential
of the proportional control and allow you to start and stop smoothly.
To drive the wheelchair, perform the following:
1. Adjust speed control knob to the appropriate setting.
2. Turn the power On. Refer to Turning the Power On/Off.
3. Maneuver the joystick in the following manner:
MOVEMENT ACTION
FORWARD A Push joystick forward,
towards the front of the
wheelchair.
REVERSE
B
Pull joystick back, towards
the rear of the wheelchair.
Turn RIGHT C Move joystick toward the
right side of the wheelchair.
Turn LEFT D Move joystick toward the left
side of the wheelchair.
STOP Release the joystick and the
wheelchair will slow to a stop.
