the joystick.
c. Turn on power to the chair; program as needed.

NOTE– Review the Sunrise Medical Programmer Owner’s Manual for more details on how to program your
chair.
NOTE– Program settings that are not matched for the capabilities of the rider can result in serious injury. Do
not alter settings without the advice of your health care professional.
C. THERMAL ROLL-BACK
Your chair has a thermal roll back circuit. This protects the controller from damage due to overheating.
In extreme conditions (such as repetitive hill climbing) the circuit will decrease the power to your
motors. This allows the chair to operate at a reduced speed. When the controller cools, the chair will
return to normal speed.
