VII. OPERATION
The Joystick
The joystick (see figure 15 on page 24) controls the speed (up to the maximum limit set by
the speed control buttons) and direction of your power chair.
Note: When you are not pushing on the joystick, or when you release the joystick, the
joystick will automatically return to the neutral position, the chair will decelerate, as the
electromagnetic brakes are applied, and come to a smooth stop.
Pushing the joystick away from the neutral (center) position will move your LiteRider PTC in
the direction that the joystick is pushed.
♦ The farther forward or backward you push the joystick, the faster your power chair will
go.
To operate your power chair, gently push the joystick in the direction in which you
want to travel.
♦ Gentle operation of the joystick will provide you with smoother changes in speed and
direction.
♦ Sharp or jerky operation of the joystick will result in quick and drastic changes in
direction and speed.
The Joystick Display
The joystick display (see figure 15 on page 24) is a multifunctional visual display. This
display provides three types of information.
1. On/Off status
2. Battery charge level
3. Fault diagnostics
1. On/Off Status
When you turn on the power to your LiteRider PTC, the LED array will light up (see figure
15 on page 24
.
♦ If the LED array is not lit, the controller and the power chair are not in operating mode.
