7.7.4. Switching off
• Turn off the joystick
• Check that the brakes are engaged so that the wheelchair does not move
• Be careful not to leave the chair at a standstill with empty batteries as this could affect its autonomy.
7.8. Joystick Control
The joystick controls can be personalized, and different models are available depending on the needs of the user.
7.8.1. Joystick
The joystick controls the speed and direction of the wheelchair. Push the joystick in the direction of your choice. The more
you incline it, the faster you will go. When you release the joystick, the chair will automatically brake and stop.
7.8.2. Powering the joystick
If the wheelchair does not move as intended, release the joystick immediately and turn off the chair. Unless the joystick is
damaged, the chair should stop.
If the joystick is not in the neutral (centered) position when you start the chair, you risk causing a system malfunction.
Release the joystick and restart the chair to reset the system.
WARNING
Always turn the chair off when at a standstill to avoid unexpected movement.
7.8.3. Rain and water
The joystick box is NOT WATERPROOF. The joystick module resists splashes but can be irreparably damaged if water
passes through the rubber seals (such damage is not covered by the warranty).
** We recommend carrying a plastic bag large enough to cover the joystick module and the user’s hand in case of rain.
7.8.4. Joystick cable
If, for any reason the joystick cable is disconnected, be careful not to force it back in again. The plug is polarized and can
only be inserted in one direction.
STOP
Do not insert the plug in the wrong direction, as this may cause irreparable damage to the electronic system. Also, be sure to place the
cable so that it cannot get caught in the seat frame or the base of the wheelchair.
7.8.5. The control programme
The control programme affects the speed, acceleration, deceleration, and braking of the chair. The drive mode settings are
pre-programmed at the factory. If your Magic Mobility dealer changes these settings, please take note.
WARNING
Do not try to reprogram your chair yourself. This task must only be carried out by the wheelchair manufacturer, an authorized
representative of the manufacturer or a qualified technician.
