Using the Joystick to Drive the Wheelchair
ƽ WARNING
DO NOT operate wheelchair on an incline while in an elevated position. Otherwise,
the wheelchair may tip over and injury or damage may occur.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.2.
The joystick is located on the joystick housing and provides smooth control of speed and
direction. It is equipped with 360 degrees of mobility for ease of operation. The joystick is
spring‐loaded, and automatically returns to the upright (neutral) position when released.
Pushing the joystick in a given direction causes the wheelchair to move in that direction.
The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that the further it is pushed from the
upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair moves. The maximum speed,
however, is limited by the setting of the speed‐control knob.
To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has
automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections.
