5. Joystick (E)

The joystick controls the direction and speed of your chair. Turn the chair on and move
the joystick in the direction you want to go.

• Moving the joystick from the neutral (center) position disengages the motor

locks, allowing the chair to move. 

• The chair will move faster the more you move the joystick away from neutral. 

NOTE–

If your speed becomes hard to manage, release the Joystick and the chair will
come to a complete stop.

• When you release the joystick it will return to neutral; the chair will slow to a

stop and the motor locks will reengage.

• We recommend that you switch the chair off if you stop for any length of time.

This will conserve battery power.

NOTE–

Once the chair stops, switching the chair off will not affect the motor locks. 

6. Joystick Boot (F)

Make sure the boot is not torn or cracked (this could allow debris, water or moisture
to enter). If the boot is torn or cracked, replace it as soon as you can.

7. Remote Switch Jacks (optional) (I)

Two 1/8" switch jacks are optional to provide remote switch control of the on/off
power function and the mode select function.  Any of the single switches offered by
Sunrise Medical can be used to connect to either or both of these jacks (except the
single zero touch switch).

1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop your chair except in an emergency. 

This will result in an abrupt stop, and may cause you to fall.

2. To slow or stop your chair, return the joystick to neutral.

E. JOYSTICK ASSEMBLY

The joystick connects to a controller, which controls
the chair’s performance. The joystick assembly consists
of the following parts: 

1. Speed Control Knob (A) 

Use the speed control knob to adjust the maximum
speed of your chair. Turn it counter-clockwise to reduce
speed; turn it clockwise to increase speed.

2. Battery Charge Indicator (B)

• Green lights indicate that batteries are fully

charged. 

• Yellow lights indicate that batteries need

recharging. 

• When the lights stay in the red band, the batter-

ies must be recharged.

3. On/Off Mode switch (D)

The on/off mode switch is located on the rear face of
the joystick housing. It is a toggle switch. Turning the
chair on or off, is accomplished by pressing the switch
downward. The switch will automatically return to the
center point. Alternate locations exist for this switch.
Please see your supplier in the event that you wish to
relocate or re-orient this switch.

4. Mode Switch (D)

The on/off mode switch allows you to select from 5
(five) different programmable drive profiles or actuator
mode sets.

• Push up the on/off mode select toggle switch to

index among the five drive and actuator modes.
The selected mode indicator will flash.

• Push joystick either left or right to select one of

the five drive profiles. To select the actuator
modes, push the mode select switch twice.

• The drive profiles are indicated by the mode indi-

cators (G) and the actuators are indicated by the
four actuator lights (H).

• To exit drive or actuator mode select, simply push

the on/off/mode toggle up one or more times
until the indicator no longer flashes, or push the
joystick forward or reverse to begin driving.
