Joystick
The joystick
D
has proportional drive control, meaning that the
further the joystick is pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the
faster the wheelchair or seat moves. Your top speed, however, is
limited by the programmed settings.
To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The
wheelchair has automatic speed and direction compensation to
minimize corrections.
