Section 4.
Operating your Powerchair.
Controller
Your new Power Chair has the option of two types of control systems, Dynamic
Controls or PG Controls. You will have been given instruction on how to operate your
controller at time of specification or on delivery. As most power wheelchairs are setup
with Drive parameters to suit individuals and needs, we will only cover the basics in this
manual.
WARNING: Never push the On/Off button or pad on the control box until you are
seated correctly in the chair and have your hand on the control box.
IMPORTANT: Please familiarise yourself with the individual functions of your
controller in particular the On\Off button or pad. Both types of control systems have an
On/Off button or pad that operate by pressing once for ON and pressing the same button
or pad again for OFF.
1. Do not displace the joystick when pressing the ON button. An error will occur
and you will have to turn controller off and then back on again.
2. Always set Speed selection to suit environment. Indoor driving should be set to
a lower top speed.
3. Driving on highly polished floors can be slippery. Lower the Speed setting to
half or even less if required.
4. Unless in an emergency, never press the On/Off button while driving your
powerchair.
5. Never hang items on the joystick. (E.g. shopping bags)
6. To avoid damage to motor gearboxes always come to a complete “stop” before
turning your power chair off.
