Speed Control

The speed control knob is located on the side of the joystick housing. 

1. Rotate the knob clockwise (forward) to increase the speed of the wheelchair to the 

programmed max speed.

2. Rotate the knob counterclockwise (backward) to decrease the speed of the wheelchair 

to the programmed max speed.

Joystick

The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that the further the joystick is 
pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair or seat moves. Your 
top speed, however, is limited by the programmed settings.

To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has 
automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections.

Charger/Programming Input

The charger/programming input is located at the front of the joystick housing. This 
provides easy access for charging the wheelchair batteries. This port also serves as the 
Remote Programmer Communication connection. Driving is prevented while the system 
is charging.

LCD Display Screens

The LCD Display is located in front of the joystick and provides information on the status 
of the wheelchair through a backlit display. The LCD display is readable in both bright 
sunlight and complete darkness.
