OPERATING YOUR POWER CHAIR
8
Before beginning your journey with your new power chair, make sure that the power chair
is on a level surface and clear of any obstacles. Although your power chair is able to
climb slopes it is safer to practice on a level surface.
1.Before operating your power chair, check the following:
•
freewheeling lever is on D.
•
speed control switch is at the lowest speed (repeatedly pressed left switch).
2.Sit on the chair and fasten the seatbelt.
3.When turning on the button on the joystick, all power reserve LED lights should be lit.
All power reserve lights should not be flashing.
4.While resting your arms on the armrests, the joystick should be within reach. By pushing
the joystick slightly forward, the power chair will move forward slowly. Pushing the
joystick fully forward, it will move at normal speed. Adjusting the speed control switch
will also decrease and increase the speed. Also, with the joystick you are able to turn
the chair 360
o
. When the joystick is released and back in the neutral position, the
chair will stop.
5.Practice driving where there are no obstacles. Start at the slowest speed and move
forward and backward; make some turns. As you get more comfortable you can
increase the speed by pressing the speed control switch repeatedly.
6.When the power reserve Indicator is lit in only a few sections, you should plan to
recharge the batteries very soon.
