12.5 Pilot + Operation
Seated in your Powerchair. Press the ON/OFF Switch. The battery gauge will blink then turn on after
second. Check the maximum speed control is set to a level which suits you. Push the joystick to
control the speed and direction of the wheelchair. Please note that if you push the joystick before or
just after you switch the control system on, the battery gauge will ripple up and down and the
wheelchair will not be allowed to move. You must release the joystick to resume normal operation. If
you do not release the joystick within five seconds the wheelchair will not be able to move, even if
you release the joystick and push it again. The battery gauge will then flash rapidly. You can reset
this condition by switching the control system off and on again. If you do not push the joystick as
you switch the wheelchair on and the battery gauge flashes rapidly, then
there may be a fault.
Freewheel Operation (see 11.1)
To push the Powerchair by hand in the event of a fault or battery
failure, or simply to move it WITH NO OCCUPANT in it, the two
motor/gearbox units can be declutched from the rear wheels.
First ensure that power is switched OFF on the joystick box.

freewheel mode the Powerchair is NOT secured by the electromagnetic brakes, as both brake
systems are out of action during this time.
