Observe that, when released, the joystick returns to center (neutral). 2. Allow plenty of space to test drive your power wheelchair. 3. With the joystick in the center position (neutral), turn chair power on. Check battery gauge for adequate battery capacity. 4. Set the Speed/Response Control to the lowest level. To avoid serious injury or death from a fall or collision, set speed/ response control for the environment and your skill level. Set control to minimum if you are a less experienced driver or are in a confined space. 5. Gently move the joystick forward. A "click" will be heard as the controller releases the motor brakes and your power wheelchair will move slowly forward. Observe that if the joystick is released, the lever will return to center (neutral) and the power wheelchair will stop. Note that when the chair stops, another "click" will be heard as the brakes are engaged. 6. Move the joystick lever fully right. The chair will move in a circle to the right. Moving the lever fully left will cause the chair to circle to the left. If the status indicator is flashing, the controller has sensed a fault condition. Refer to the fault code section of Appendix B (pages 50 - 51) to determine the cause of the fault. The power wheelchair will not respond to move commands if a fault condition is sensed.
