11 Production Tests
• Perform the following tests, in order, on each wheelchair before dispatch.
These tests should be conducted in an open space and a
restraining device such as a seat belt should always be
used. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of any kind arising
from failure to comply with this condition.
11.1 Mounting
• Make sure that all the control system is securely mounted. Do not overtighten
any securing screws.

• Check that the joystick is not bent or damaged.
• Check the thin rubber gaiter or boot, around the base of the joystick shaft, for
damage or splitting. Check visually only, do not handle the gaiter.
• Check that the joystick returns to the center position when you push and
release it.
11.4 Preset Settings
• Make sure that the control system is using the preset settings. Refer to the

second.
