4. THROTTLE CONTROL JOYSTICK LEVER.
The black knob mounted on
the top of the control panel is both the throttle and direction control lever (Push Slowly).
Pushing the lever with your thumb in the direction of the horn button on the control
faceplate will make the wheelchair go forward or backward accordingly. Pushing the lever
in slightly will makes the wheelchair begin to move. The further you depress the lever, the
faster the wheelchair moves. The top speed set by the SPEED KNOB is reached by fully
depressing the joystick lever. Completely releasing the lever will stop power to the motor,
activate the brakes, and you will come to a complete stop. For faster stops in forward,
pull the joystick into reverse until the unit stops moving, then release the throttle.
5. HORN BUTTON
Your unit also comes
equipped with a built in horn, activated by depressing the horn button.
PLEASE
NOTE:
Should the joystick /
brake control system
not stop the unit, turn-
ing the power switch
off
will engage all brakes
and stop the unit
abruptly. This backup
system should only be
used in the unlikely
event that the primary
brake control is dis-
abled, as the quick
stop could
CAUSE YOU TO SLIDE OFF THE WHEELCHAIR.
Remember to wear
your lap belt.
6. LOCKING THE SHARK
Some SHARK's may be supplied factory programmed
with a LOCK Feature that prevents unauthorized people from turning the SHARK on.
TO LOCK:
While the power is ON, press and hold the Power button for 2 seconds. The horn will sound
a short beep and all LED's will flash briefly. The powerchair will then turn off.
TO UNLOCK:
While the SHARK is locked, press the Power button to turn the SHARK on. All LED's will
flash briefly. The LED's will then perform a right-to-left "chase". Press the Horn button twice
before the timer completes its pass (approximately 6 seconds). The current state-of-charge
will then be displayed and SHARK may be operated normally.
Note:
If the user does not press the Horn button twice within the time limit, the Horn will
sound a short beep and SHARK will turn itself off. The unlock sequence must be completed
successfully before the SHARK will drive again normally.
