Trim the Chair

Trimming the chair ensures that it truly runs straight forward when it is com-
manded to so; see page 4. There are two ways to do this: the easiest way (Steps
1–3), and the fastest way (Steps 4–7). Use whichever technique you prefer.

STEP

1. The easiest way to trim the chair is to let the Auto-Trim feature

do it for you. Turn on the Auto-Trim parameter (Program >
Motors & Brakes menu).

STEP

2. Drive the chair forward as straight as possible for at least 20 sec-

onds, release the joystick, and let the chair come to a complete
stop with the EM brakes set.

STEP

3. Repeat Step 2 for five or ten minutes, and the chair will be

trimmed for you by the Auto-Trim feature.

STEP

4. The fastest way to trim the chair is to do it manually. Turn off the

Auto-Trim parameter (Program > Motors & Brakes menu).

STEP

5. Drive the chair straight ahead briefly and then release the joy-

stick. Note whether the chair veers when stopping or requires
the joystick to be off center to drive straight.

STEP

6. If the chair is not tracking properly, adjust the Motor Trim

parameter (Program > Motors & Brakes menu) up or down to
correct it. After you’ve had some experience doing this, you will
probably develop a feel for this adjustment and be able to do it
quite quickly.

STEP

7. When the chair is tracking properly, turn on the Auto-Trim

parameter so that any further trim adjustments will be done
automatically.

Set Up MyChair

This guide tunes only Profile 1. To tune Profile 2, repeat all the Drive and Steer
procedures (9 through bn), using the Profile 1 settings as a starting point.

STEP

1. Set the MyChair parameter to 1.0, which is Profile 1. Later, after

Profile 2 has also been defined, MyChair can be set to Profile 1,
to Profile 2, or to a point between; see page 3.
