INSTRUCTIONS TO OPERATE THE IRV2000

The Instructions of Operation are intended for you to have the most fun and the least

amount of frustrations while you operate the IRV2000. Please read the first 3 pages AND

page 11 of this manual before attempting to operate your new machine.

Keep in mind that the IRV2000 weights about 400 pounds without an operator. It can

cause damage to persons and property if not operated properly.

You can mount the IRV2000 from either side of the seat simply by raising the arm of the

seat. Sit down, spin in the seat and lower the arm rest. FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT.

YOU ARE READY TO GO WHERE YOU WOULD LIKE TO GO!! The following

topics will explain the operation of each element of the Joystick controller.

GETTING STARTED USING THE 80 AMP

CONTROLLER

(If you have the100 amp controller, please see pages 4,5)

The following is an explanation of the Joystick

control.

Press the long I|O button. If the Joystick will not

work, you will see a little red light flashing on the

Key Location. Touch the magnetic key on the Key

Location red light.This will allow the Joystick to

activate. (If you want to re-lock the Joystick, have

power on and touch the magnetic key on the Key

Location red light.)

You will also see the Battery Lights come on. If

the battery is fully charged, you will see two red

lights, two yellow lights and two green lights. You

will see in the Speed Indicator window the speed number or actuator letter. “A” or “b”

SELECTING SPEEDS

Press the Speed Selector until you see a “1” appear in the Speed

Indicator window. If you press the Speed Selector again, you will

see a “2” appear in the window.

The Joystick has a total of five speeds. The higher the number the faster the IRV 2000

will go. To change to a lower speed you must continue to press the button through the

speeds and letters to obtain the desired speed. You will see a letter appear after speed “5”.

Refer to the section WHEEL POSITIONS for an explanation. ( NOTE: beginning

operation in speed is advisable “1” or “2” until you are familiar with the operation of the

Joystick.)

Speeds are the result of power levels. If you need more power you need to select a higher

speed setting and then adjust the ground speed by moving the lever slightly.

DRIVING THE IRV 2000 WITH THE JOYSTICK

Moving the Joystick forward will drive the IRV 2000 forward. If you push the stick just a

little, you will go slow. If you push it a lot, you will go as fast as the Speed Indicator is

set. If you move the stick a little to the left or right, you will turn in that direction in a

large circle. If you move it a lot, you will turn very short. If you pull back on the stick,

you will go backwards. If you release the Joystick you will stop abruptly. Try to move

the Joystick very smoothly to avoid sudden jerks.

WHEEL POSITIONS

SEE PAGE 8 FOR DIAGRAM

If you continue to press the Speed Selector again and again, you will see an “A” or a “b”

in the Speed Indicator window. These letters are used to raise and lower the tail wheel

“A” or the large center wheels “b”. Move the lever sideways to change the letter. Now if

you push forward or pull back on the Joystick, the wheel will go down or up. Try to

cross obstacles at an angle. You can cross a 5" curb safely if you cross at an angle.

Cross small logs and ditches the same way.

NOTE: If you run the center wheels all the way down and the caster all the way down,

you now have a three-point setup that allows tight turns on hard surfaces as well as on

carpet and throw rugs.

BATTERY LIGHTS

The Joystick controller has six battery lights. They will show how much charge is left in

the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, all six lights will light. As the batteries

loose their charge, the green light will be the first to quit. If both of the green and yellow

lights go out, you have approximately 15 minutes before the machine quits. You can run

the batteries down to the point that the left (red) light will begin to

flash. When that happens, you do not have much time left. The

battery charge life will depend on the load and the terrain. You

should never leave the battery with a low charge. It will damage the

batteries over time.

Battery Lights

If the IRV2000 has a problem, normally the little red light on the I\O begins to flash.

Turn to the section titled, TROUBLE SHOOTING and follow the instructions.

NOTE: IF THE IRV2000 IS LEFT OUTDOORS OR IF YOU WANT HIGH

SECURITY, UNPLUG THE JOYSTICK AND REMOVE IT FROM THE ARMREST.

Page 3 03-29-02

GETTING STARTED USING THE 100 AMP CONTROLLER

(If you have the 80 amp controller, please see pages 2,3)

The following is an explanation of the Joystick

control. Press the round OFF/ON Button. If

the Joystick will not work, you will see the

Battery Lights flashing. Refer to the flash code

section.

Battery Charger

Plug-in Location Off/On

Otherwise, you should see the Battery Lights

and the Speed Indicator Lights come on

without flashing. If the battery is fully charged,

you will see three red lights, four yellow lights

and three green lights. Also notice the Speed

Indicator Lights (1-5), indicating what speed

range the unit is in, one light being the slowest

speed available.

SELECTING SPEEDS

Press the Speed/Mode Selector button. You should see the

Speed Indicator Lights flash. Move the Joystick Lever to the

right to increase speed, and to the left to decrease speed. To

operate in that speed, simply move the Lever forward or back. You can also

change speed while moving by pressing the Speed/Mode Selector button. The

Joystick has a total of five speeds.

( NOTE: beginning operation in speed “1” or “2” lights is advisable until you are

familiar with the operation of the Joystick.)

DRIVING THE IRV 2000 WITH THE JOYSTICK

Moving the Joystick forward will drive the IRV 2000 forward. If you push the

stick just a little, you will go slow. If you push it a lot, you will go as fast as the

Speed Indicator is set. If you move the stick a little to the left or right, you will

turn in that direction in a large circle. If you move it a lot, you will turn very short.

If you pull back on the stick, you will go backwards. If you release the Joystick

If you press the Speed/Mode Selector twice, you will see one of the

two red Wheel Location Lights come on in the wheelchair picture. This

mode is used to raise and lower either the tail wheel or the large center

wheels, depending on which red light is lit. The light in the “seat

bottom” is for the center wheels. The light in the “seat back” is for the tail wheel.

Move the lever sideways to change the location. Now if you push forward or pull

back on the Joystick, the wheels will go down or up. Try to cross obstacles at an

angle. You can cross a 5" curb safely if you cross at an angle. Cross small logs

and ditches the same way.

NOTE: If you run the center wheels all the way down and the tail wheel all the way

down, you now have a three-point setup that allows tight turns on hard surfaces as

well as on carpet and throw rugs.

BATTERY LIGHTS

The Joystick controller has ten Battery Lights. They will show how much charge

is left in the batteries. When the batteries are fully charged, all ten lights will light.

As the batteries loose their charge, the green lights will be the first to quit. If all of

the green and yellow lights go out, you have approximately 15

minutes before the machine quits. You can run the batteries down

to the point that the last red light will begin to flash. When that

happens, you do not have much time left. The battery charge life

will depend on the load and the terrain. You should never leave the

battery with a low charge. It will damage the batteries over time.

If the IRV2000 has a problem, normally the Battery Lights begin to flash. Turn to

the section titled, TROUBLE SHOOTING and follow the instructions.

NOTE: IF THE IRV2000 IS LEFT OUTDOORS OR IF YOU WANT HIGH

SECURITY, UNPLUG THE JOYSTICK AND REMOVE IT FROM THE
