GETTING READY TO DRIVE
STEP 1 Press the On / Off Button, then the joystick will turn on after the Battery
Gauge blinks for about a second.
STEP 2 Press the Speed Increase / Decrease Button to set up a suitable level that
you can maneuver the Powerchair easily.
NOTE! The Powerchair will not move and the Battery Gauge will blink if you
push the joystick before or right after you turn the joystick on. To restore the
normal operating status, you have to release the joystick immediately back to
its center position. If you do not release the joystick within five seconds, the
Battery Gauge will flash rapidly. The Powerchair must be powered off and
then turned back on again.
STEP 3 Push the joystick to control the speed and direction of the Powerchair.
NOTE! Choose an area with plenty of space to ride the Powerchair. Select the
low level of the maximum speed setting until you are familiar with the controls.
In a short time you will be in total control and can then increase the speed in
steps.
STEP 4 Release the joystick whenever you want to stop the Powerchair.
ENGAGED / DISENGAGED MODE (Fig. 6)
In the event of a fault or battery failure, the electromagnetic brakes can be
disengaged allowing the Powerchair to be pushed. The levers should be switched to
the freewheel position according to the indication labels to set the Powerchair to the
Engaged / Disengaged Mode.
NOTE! Do not use or sit on the Powerchair when either of the brakes is
disengaged, or the joystick will not operate normally.
