5. OPERATION
■ JOYSTICK DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Your power chair may be equipped with an adjustable joystick. This function enables you to move
the joystick from the armrest to the desired position.
 Suggestion
1. You should recharge the batteries after each time the power chair is used to ensure maximum range.
The batteries should be charged at least once a week, even if the power chair is not used.
2. After charging or replacing a new battery, drive the power chair for 2-3 minutes to make sure the
battery capacity is sufficient.
3. In cold weather, the battery may respond more slowly and the battery range may be reduced.
4. When driving on a gradient, the battery indicator light may move up and down. This is a normal
phenomenon and should not cause concern.
5. Even with proper care and use of the battery, it is natural for the battery’s capacity to reduce with time.
Therefore, when the battery’s range is about 50% of the range when the batteries were new, it is time
for the batteries to be replaced. Please contact your dealer about replacement batteries. If an old battery
con is used, it can lead to a rapid decline in performance.
6. The battery range will be reduced when driving frequently on a slope or on rough terrain as this
requires a greater consumption of power.
7. The batteries have a six month warranty covering manufacturing defect. This warranty does not
cover faults due to incorrect battery recharging.
■ BRAKING
Electromagnetic brake: Release the speed control lever completely, the electromagnetic brake will be
activated automatically and the power chair will stop.
