• When you release the joystick it will return to
neutral; the chair will slow to a stop and the
motor locks will reengage.
• We recommend that you switch the chair off if
you stop for any length of time. This will con-
serve battery power.
NOTE– Once the chair stops, switching the chair off
will not affect the motor locks.
6. Joystick Boot (H)
Make sure the boot is not torn or cracked (this could
allow debris, water or moisture to enter). If the boot is
torn or cracked, replace it as soon as you can.
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop your chair
except in an emergency. This will result in an
abrupt stop and may cause you to fall.
2. To slow or stop your chair, return the joystick to
neutral.
F. MOTOR LOCKS
Disconnect the motor locks when you need to manually
push the chair. (For example, in an emergency, or if
batteries fail).
1. Do not disengage motor locks unless power to
the chair is off.
2. Be aware that the chair will not have brakes
in the free-wheel position.
3. Make sure that the person pushing the chair has
full control when motor locks are disengaged.
1. Disengaging Drive
a. Facing the back of the chair, pull lever A
(left side) into the inward position (as

b. Push lever B (right side) into the inward
position (as shown in diagram).
2. Engaging Drive

E. INTEGRAL JOYSTICK
The standard integral joystick controls the chair’s per-
formance. It consists of the following parts:
1. Speed Control or Drive Mode Selection Buttons
(A and B)
To decrease the speed level depress button A. Or, when
1- 5 Drive modes are programmed, depress button A to
activate lower drive mode(s).
To increase speed level, depress button B. Or, when 1-
5 Drive modes are programmed, depress button B to
activate higher drive mode(s).
Speed level active, or Drive Mode selected, is indicated
on display (C) by a series of five lights. One light indi-
cates slowest level/mode currently active, while five
lights indicates highest level/mode currently active.
2. Battery Charge Indicator (D)
• Green lights indicate that batteries are fully
charged.
• Yellow lights indicate that batteries need
recharging.
• When the lights stay in the red band, the batter-
ies must be recharged.
3. On/Off Button (E)
Turning the chair on or off is accomplished by depress-
ing button E.
4. Horn (F)
5. Joystick (G)
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your
chair. Turn the chair on and move the joystick in the
direction you want to go.
• Moving the joystick from the neutral (center)
position disengages the motor locks, allowing
the chair to move.
• The chair will move faster the more you move
the joystick away from neutral.
NOTE– If your speed becomes hard to manage, release
the Joystick and the chair will come to a com-
plete stop.
