5. 2 HOW TO OPERATE YOUR POWERCHAIR
1. Joystick. The primary function of the joystick is to control the speed and direction of the wheelchair.
The further you push the joystick from the center position the faster the wheelchair will move. When
you release the joystick the brakes are automatically applied.
2. On / Off button. The on/off button applies power to the control system electronics, which in turn
supply power to the wheelchair’s motors. Do not use the on/off button to stop the wheelchair unless
there is an emergency. (If you do, you may shorten the life of the wheelchair drive components). The
battery gauge shows you that the wheelchair is switched on. It also indicates the operating status of
the wheelchair.
3. Increase Speed / Profile. Press this button to increase the maximum speed of the wheelchair.
4. Decrease Speed / Profile. Press this button to decrease the maximum speed of the wheelchair.
5. Speed / Profile Indicator. This shows the maximum speed of the wheelchair. The more LEDs are
lit, the faster the maximum speed. The wheelchair can be configured to use drive profiles. However,
this is not included by default. For more information about drive profiles, contact your dealer. If the
speed indicator ripples, this means the wheelchair is locked. By default the locking function is
disabled.
To unlock / lock the wheelchair:
• Switch the wheelchair on
• Hold down the on/off button for 1 second (lock only)
• Deflect the joystick forwards until the control system bleeps
• Deflect the joystick backwards until the control system bleeps
• Release the joystick. There will be a long bleep and the wheelchair will be unlocked / locked.
6. Horn. Press this button to sound the horn. The horn will stop when you release the button.
7. Battery Gauge. This shows the battery power level of the wheelchair.
• The more LEDs that are lit, the more power is left in the battery. The LEDs will be lit constantly
when the wheelchair is operating normally.
