3. BATTERY INDICATOR. The SHARK Information Gauge (located on the joy-
stick console) is the primary source of user feedback. It displays every possible status that
SHARK may have.
True state-of-battery-charge, including notication of when the battery desperately requires
charging.
• Any green LED's lit indicates well-charged batteries.
• If only amber and red LED's are lit, the batteries are moderately charged.
Recharge before undertaking a long trip.
• If only red LED's are lit the batteries are running out of charge. Recharge as soon
as possible.
4.THROTTLECONTROLJOYSTICKLEVER. The joystick mounted on the top
of the control panel is both the throttle and direction control lever (Push Slowly). Pushing the
joystick with your thumb in the direction of the horn button on the control faceplate will
make the wheelchair go forward or backward accordingly. Pushing the joystick in slightly
will makes the wheelchair begin to move. The further you depress the joystick, the faster
the wheelchair moves. The top speed set by the Tortoise/Hare buttons is reached by fully
depressing the joystick. Completely releasing the joystick will stop power to the motor,
activate the brakes, and you will come to a complete stop. For faster stops in forward,
pull the joystick into reverse until the unit stops moving, then release the joystick.
5.HORNBUTTON
Your unit also comes equipped with a built in horn, activated by depressing the horn button.
PLEASE NOTE: Should the joystick / brake control system not stop the unit, turning the
power switch off will engage all brakes and stop the unit abruptly. This backup system should
only be used in the unlikely event that the primary brake control is disabled, as the quick
stop could CAUSE YOU TO SLIDE OFF THE WHEELCHAIR. Remember to wear
your lap belt.
