Power Seat Operation
Optional power seat actuators will be operated using one of the following control systems.
Joysticks with integral actuator controls
The controller has two modes of operation.
One is called the “drive mode”. It is used to
drive the chair. The second mode is the
“actuator control mode” used to run up to two
different motorized actuators including tilts,
power seats, and Stanza.
While you are in the “drive mode”, the power
wheelchair controls will function as explained
earlier in this manual.
To switch from the “drive mode” to the
“actuator control mode” you must have the
power chair stopped and sitting on a rm level
surface. Find the curved mode switch button
located just under the ON/OFF button.
Press and release the actuator control mode button to once to toggle from drive mode to control-
ling motorized actuators. Then press the button a second time to light up #2 on the switch. The
far right part of the button will be lit up when the second function is active.
Moving the joystick forward will lower the seat. Pulling back on the joystick will raise the seat.
The speed is proportional and can be adjusted by how far you have moved the joystick.
Once you have nished adjusting the powered accessories, you may leave the “accessory power
mode” and return to drive mode by pressing and releasing the mode switch until both of the small
mode switch lights are off. If the power switch is on both mode switch lights are off you are in
drive mode. Moving the joystick will cause the power chair to move.
WARNING: Before using the joystick, always look at the indicator lights to know what
mode you are in. Failure to do so could result in unexpected movement of the power
chair causing potential harm to the user and or the equipment.
External Controls
Controls that are not activated through the joystick do not require
you to toggle between “drive mode” and “actuator control power
mode”.
To operate the power seat actuator with external controls, you must
have the power chair stopped and sitting on a rm level surface.
Locate the small black box with the rocker switch. Push at the back
of the rocker switch to raise the seat and push at the front of the
rocker switch to lower the seat.
