9 Controller Mounts
9.1 General warnings
Do not replace the joystick knob with any unauthorised item.
It may cause hazardous operation and loss of control of the
chair.
It is important that the joystick boot is replaced if it is torn or
brittle; failure to do so could cause substance damage to the
controller and unexpected movement of the chair.
Ensure that you always have comfortable access to the controls
whilst the chair is moving and make sure that the controller is
fixed securely to the chair.
9.2 Attendant control
Ensure that you set the speed of the attendant control to a speed
that you can comfortably follow.
Always turn off the power to the controller when leaving the user
in the chair. (see “attendant control” picture below).
9.3 Parallel swing-away control
Before adjusting the swing-away arm, switch off the controller to
avoid accidental displacement of the joystick which would cause
unwanted movement of your wheelchair.
Keep your fingers and clothing, etc. clear while operating the
swing-away mechanism.
Be aware that the width of your chair has increased if the
swing-away arm is out and you may not get between certain
obstacles.
Do not hang any items on or over the parallel swing-away remote
assembly as this could damage the swing-away mechanism.
When transferring to and from the wheelchair do not use the
remote as a means of support.
Ensure the power is switched off while adjusting the parallel
swing-away arm.
Only operate the wheelchair at low manoeuvring speed when
the parallel swing-away is in use. (see “parallel swing-away”
picture on the right).
