FEATURES
Motor speed and direction are regulated by the joystick control unit. With practice, automatic control of
acceleration, braking and change of direction will ensure a smooth, jerk-free ride. The variable speed
selector gives you total control in any environment.
The power chair cannot be driven when the batteries are being charged. Controller circuits are designed
to prevent operation during the charging process.
CHARGING The battery gauge will indicate that your batteries are low.
Charging is straightforward, (Refer to enclosed booklet).
BATTERIES • The batteries fitted as standard are completely sealed and therefore cannot be
spilled like conventional ‘wet’ cells. Total performance and reliable operation is

ships, buses, ambulances or trains without having to remove the batteries from
the equipment.
