5. Joystick (A)
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 brakes, allow-
ing 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 brakes 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 brakes.
6. Joystick Boot (B) 46
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. Tilt or Lift Control (SC & MPC only) (C)
This button once depressed allows you to control the up and down movement of the tilt/lift.
Press button "I". Then push the joystick forward to tilt/lift the seat upward or pull the joystick
back to tilt/lift the seat downward. Pressing button "I" again will allow drive operations to
resume.

1. On/Off Button
The on/off button applies power to the control system electronics, which in turn supply
power to the wheelchair's motors. Do not use the on/off button to stop the wheelchair
unless there is an emergency. (If you do, you may shorten the life off the wheelchair drive
components.)

2. Actuator Indicator
This LED set displays which actuator channel is currently being controlled when the control
system is in Actuator Mode. Actuator selection and operation is achieved using the joystick.
• Motions to the LEFT or RIGHT select different actuator channels.
• Motions FORWARD and BACKWARD move the actuator(s) selected.
3. Battery Indicator
Displays the charge available in the battery and alerts the user when charge level is low.
• Steady: This indicates that all is well
• Flashing Slowly: The control system is functioning correctly, but you should charge the
battery as soon as possible.
• Stepping Up: The wheelchair batteries are being charged. You will not be able to drive
the wheelchair until the charger is disconnected and you have switched the conrol sys-
tem off and on again.
• If the battery gauge shows red, yellow and green, the batteries are charged (bars 1 - 10).
• If the battery gauge shows just red and yellow, then you should charge the batteries as
soon as you can (bars 1 - 7).
• If the battery gauge shows just red, then you should charge the batteries immediately
(bars 1 - 3).
4. Maximum Speed Indicator
This is a gauge that shows the maximum speed or profile setting of the wheelchair. There are
five speed/profile settings– step 1 is the lowest speed and step 5 is the highest.
• Speed level active is indicated on display by a series of five lights. One light indicates
slowest level currently active, while five lights indicates highest level currently active.
• Drive mode is indicated by a single light. The first light indicates Drive Mode 1; the sec-
ond light indicates Mode 2, and so on.
5. Speed Decrease Button
This button decreases the maximum speed setting or, if the control system is programmed
for drive profile operation, selects a lower drive profile.
