SECTION 5-WHEELCHAIR OPERATION The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that the further it is pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair moves. The maximum speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speed‐control knob. To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections. When first learning to drive, select a slow speed and try to drive the wheelchair as slowly as possible by pushing the joystick slightly forward. This exercise will help you learn to utilize the full potential of the proportional control and allow you to start and stop smoothly. To drive the wheelchair, perform the following: 1. Adjust speed. Refer to Speed Control Buttons on page 33. 2. Turn the power On. Refer to Turning the Power On/Off on page 31. 3. Maneuver the joystick in the following manner: MOVEMENT FORWARD REVERSE Turn RIGHT Turn LEFT STOP ACTION Push forward on the joystick. Pull back on the joystick. Move the joystick RIGHT. Move the joystick LEFT. Release the joystick and the wheelchair will quickly slow down.
