Joystick Controller

The Joystick is designed to
provide all the information you
need to safely operate your
wheelchair. (see image 15)
The joystick is designed to
operate with a zero turn radius
(within it’s own footprint) and
will detect micromovement of
the joystick.
To stop the Wheelchair simply
let go of the joystick and the
chair will come to a controlled
stop.
Practice moving the joystick to
move forward and in reverse.
Also practice making left turns
and right turns.
It takes about a week to get use
to the joystick operation to
become proficient.
