17. Drive full speed FORWARD and move the joystick from left to right along the
front edge of the joystick restrictor plate, to check that you can still steer the

18. Drive full speed FORWARD and then release the joystick to the centre. Check
that the chair decelerates smoothly and in a straight line. Check that the
parkbrakes switch on as soon as the chair stops.
19. Drive full speed in REVERSE and then release the joystick into the centre.
Check that the chair decelerates smoothly and in a straight line. Check that
the parkbrakes switch on as soon as the chair stops.
20. Drive full speed FORWARD and move the joystick into full reverse. Check that
the chair decelerates smoothly and in a straight line before it moves in
reverse.
21. Drive full speed in REVERSE and move joystick into the straightforward position.
Check that the chair decelerates smoothly and in a straight line before it
moves in a forward direction. Note: Deceleration in reverse is slower.
22. Drive forward SLOWLY and switch the power switch OFF. Check that the chair
stops instantly.
23. Push the joystick a little bit forward and switch the power switch ON. Check
that the chair does not drive. Release the joystick to the centre for 3 seconds.

24. Move the joystick forward just enough to release the park brake and check
the creep speed. Repeat in reverse.
25. Accelerate up a 1:6 ramp. Check for normal power, smoothness and parking.
26. Reverse down the ramp and release the joystick when you are still on the
ramp. Check that the rollback is not too much and that the park brakes
switch on.
27. Accelerate up the ramp again, then reverse down the ramp to test good
control.
28. Perform the tests that are described in the Testing sections of the Installation
Manuals of all other DX Modules that are installed on the powerchair.
29. Repeat testing and programming of the DX System until the performance of
the powerchair is as expected.
