The following basic steering options are available to you when you put
the joystick in the following positions:

→
the electric wheelchair travels forward.

Joystick to left or right

the electric wheelchair changes its direc-
tion into the selected direction.

wards.

To prevent the wheelchair from moving in an undesired way, do
not make any sudden movements (drive commands) using the
joystick!
Practice using the controls in a safe and obstacle-free
area.
