8.3. Joystick operation
When operating the wheelchair for the first time, start it slowly and gradually push the
joystick forward. This will help you become familiar with controlling the speed and direction
of the wheelchair.
Do not turn the wheelchair suddenly at high speed, otherwise the wheelchair may lose
balance and overturn, potentially causing personal injury.
The joystick operates in a full 360-degree. It is is equipped with a spring which allows the
joystick to automatically return to the original place when released.
The degree movement is proportional to speed. A small movement of the joystick will make
the wheelchair move slowly. A larger movement will increase the wheelchair’s speed to a
maximum of 6km/h. Gradually reducing the joystick’s movement will smoothly bring the
wheelchair to rest. Sudden movements of the joystick may cause loss of balance and
overturning, resulting in personal injury.
