Speed
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction
and speed of the wheelchair.
To drive forwards push the joystick
forwards. The further you push it
from the centre the faster the
wheelchair will move. Let go of the
joystick and the wheelchair will stop
and the brakes come on.
For backwards driving push the
joystick backwards. Pushing the
joystick to the right results in
movement to the right. Pushing the
joystick to the left will move the cahir
to the left.
The joystick is also used to choose
and to move the seat actuators (see
section 6.1.5.).
Speed gauge
This is a gauge that shows the
maximum speed setting for the
wheelchair. This gauge also indicates
if the speed of the wheelchair is
being limited or if the control system
is locked.
If one LED is illuminated, you will
move at the slowest speed. 5
illuminated LED’s mean that you will
drive with the highest programmed
speed.
If the LED’s are flashing, it means
the speed is reduced. This happens
when you go into standing position.
If the LED’s r
ipple up and down, it
means the chair is locked.
