The wheelchair curves left
driving forward.
(The curve's radius depends
on the joystick's movement).
The wheelchair drives
straight backwards.
The wheelchair curves to the
right driving backwards. (The
curve's radius depends on
the joystick's movement).
The wheelchair turns to the
left on the spot.
The middle position of the joystick remains without function,
i.e. the wheels do not move and are blocked by the built-
in brakes. However, on slopes of more than 10 % you have
to tighten additional brakes that must be mounted to the
frame of the wheelchair.
The joystick functions in a way like the gas pedal of a car.
Between its original position (everything is at a standstill)
and one when it is fully pushed e.g. forward (maximum
speed) you can vary the speed.
Please refer to Chapter 6 and 7 when
undertaking your first driving attempts.
