Note: If you need to stop in an
emergency, the simplest and
safest way is to just release the
joystick. This will bring the
chair to halt in a controlled
manner.
A second means of bringing the
chair to a halt is to press the
On/Off switch. This method is
not recommended as the chair
will stop very abruptly and will
cause unnecessary wear in the
chairs braking system.

Operating the control joystick
When engaging the main On/Off
switch, allow a few seconds prior to
moving the joystick. This allows the
system to self check. If you move
the joystick too soon, the battery
level indicator display will flash,
disabling drive to your wheelchair.
Whilst this is not harmful to your
wheelchair, you will need to switch
off and then back on to clear the
system.
To steer, simply move the joystick
in the direction you wish to go.
Proceed slowly at first, i.e., do not
push the joystick too far forward.
Brakes will operate as soon as the
joystick is released and allowed to
return to its centre position. On
level ground, this should bring you
to a halt within one chair’s length
(6 km/h model). On a steep hill, it
may travel slightly further and you
will notice the brakes being
automatically applied when the
chair is nearly stationary. Once the
brakes have been applied,
switching off will make no
difference to the brakes, although it
is always safer when remaining
stationary for a period of time to
switch off.
