Driving technique
Figure 84. Joystick Maneuvering
The control panel’s electronics ”interpret” the movements of the joystick and
move the wheelchair as intended. For normal driving, the user needs to em-
ploy no complex techniques, which is an advantage if the user is inexper-
ienced. A good way of starting is quite simply to move the joystick in the
direction you want to go. The wheelchair then moves in the direction in which
the joystick is pointing.
However, always remember to drive as gently as possible and to avoid sud-
den braking and evasive maneuvers.
L
CAUTION!
Do not take the first test drive on your own. The test drive is intended to
establish how you and the wheelchair work together and you may need
assistance.
Before driving, check that the brake release lever is in the drive position.
L
WARNING!
Do not just use the joystick as a support. Fast turns and driving on uneven
surfaces can interfere with your ability to handle the wheelchair safely.
If the wheelchair moves in a way that you do not want,
RELEASE THE
JOYSTICK! This always makes the wheelchair interrupt the current
movement.
