Joystick Operation
Use the following to learn how to control your power chair from the joystick of the controls.
Going Forward/Backward
Pushing the joystick forward will move the power chair forward and pushing it backward
will move backward. Release all pressure on the joystick to bring the unit to a complete
stop. Find a level open area with no obstructions and try moving the unit forward and
backward only. See how the unit stops when you release the joystick.
Turning Left/Right
Pushing the joystick to the right will pivot the unit around to the right, while pushing the
joystick to the left pivots the unit around to the left. Try turning to the right and left and
see how the unit comes to a complete stop when you release the joystick. Moving the
joystick in a combined way (forward or backward and right or left) will move the unit in
that combined direction.
Braking
Whenever the joystick is moved from the neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic
brake will automatically release and allow the power chair to move. When the joystick is
returned to the neutral position, the power chair will decelerate and come to a complete
stop. If your power chair ever moves in an unexpected manner, immediately switch the
On/Off button to “OFF”.
