low the seat. e controller contains the connec-
tors to the rest of the wheelchair control system.
e connectors used by Everest are labelled in

system.
HAND CONTROL
See picture at right. e hand control is
mounted at the front of either arm. e
hand control contains the joystick, battery
charger receptacle (also used for the optional
programmer), mounting holes for the exten-
sion bracket, and those features found on the
control panel, shown on the next page: the
ON/OFF button, battery indicator, maxi-
mum speed/profile indicator, horn button,
speed profile decrease button, and speed/pro-
file increase button. eir descriptions follow.
Joystick
e joystick controls the speed and direction of wheelchair travel. e further you move the joystick
from the rest position, the faster your wheelchair will move. When the joystick is returned to the neutral
(center) position or released, the control system will bring the wheelchair to a smooth stop. Upon stop-
ping, electromechanical park brakes will engage to prevent the wheelchair from rolling.
Moving the joystick forward (away from the user) causes the wheelchair to move forward. Moving the
joystick back (toward the user) causes the wheelchair to travel in reverse. When the joystick is moved
right to 3 o'clock position, the wheelchair will turn to the right; when the joystick is moved left to
9 o'clock position, the wheelchair will turn to the left.
Battery charger receptacle (and optional programmer receptacle)
e receptacle for the battery charger (and optional programmer) is located on the underside of the con-
troller, as shown above. Use only the battery charger supplied with the wheelchair.
Controller cable
e controller cable plugs into the controller.
