1.3.3. stEEring With thE JoystiCk
Steering is done by moving the joystick in the direction you wish to
drive. Acceleration and speed is checked by the fluctuation of the
joystick:
Large fluctuation = powerful acceleration and high speed.
small fluctuation = weak acceleration and low speed.
It is not possible for the user to re-program the control box.
Warning!
Abstain from putting vertical pressure on the joystick
and the control box and abstain from pulling hard on the joystick
as the parts of the box could be damaged.
1.3.4. DEsCription oF thE stEEring oF thE poWEr ChAir
By moving the joystick directly forwards, both driving wheels are
synchronously activated forwards. By moving the joystick directly
backwards, both driving wheels are synchronously activated in the
opposite direction. If the joystick is moved at a slant in the one
direction, the speed of the two driving wheels are regulated asyn-
chronously (and in certain cases in each their direction). This will
make the chair move in one path in the desired direction.
nB!
by changing the driving direction, the chair’s flywheel must
change position: they will swing around the front wheel fork axle
until the wheels turn in the desired driving direction.
When the power chair is stationary before such a change of direc-
tion, this requires great motor power from the driving wheels, a
power that can release a “jolt” of the front end of the power chair
(leg supports) or its back end (if front wheel-driven). The effect
of this “jolt” is minimised by adjusting the power gradually and
controlled (small movements with the joystick).
Warning!
Despite an approved EMC test, we make no guarantee that the
powerchair is not affected by electromagnetic fields from e.g.
mobile phones and radio transmitters, or that the powerchair does
not transmit electromagnetic fields that can affect its surroundings,
such as e.g. shop security systems.
1.4. Foot pLAtE
VELA Blues 1100 is fitted with a solid footplate. The footplate is
fixed on the under carriage and can be flipped up when it is not
used.
