25 F45 Issue 6

Note: If you need to stop in an

emergency, the simplest and

safest way is to just release the

joystick. This will bring the

chair to halt in a controlled

manner.

A second means of bringing the

chair to a halt is to press the

On/Off switch. This method is

not recommended as the chair

will stop very abruptly and will

cause unnecessary wear in the

chairs braking system.

Operating the control joystick

When engaging the main On/Off

switch, allow a few seconds prior to

moving the joystick. This allows the

system to self check. If you move

the joystick too soon, the battery

level indicator display will flash,

disabling drive to your wheelchair.

Whilst this is not harmful to your

wheelchair, you will need to switch

off and then back on to clear the

system.

To steer, simply move the joystick

in the direction you wish to go.

Proceed slowly at first, i.e., do not

push the joystick too far forward.

Brakes will operate as soon as the

joystick is released and allowed to

return to its centre position. On

level ground, this should bring you

to a halt within one chair’s length

(6 km/h model). On a steep hill, it

may travel slightly further and you

will notice the brakes being

automatically applied when the

chair is nearly stationary. Once the

brakes have been applied,

switching off will make no

difference to the brakes, although it

is always safer when remaining

stationary for a period of time to

switch off.
