SpeedControl Dial FAQā€™s

How do I install SpeedControl?

SpeedControl installation can easily be done in under five minutes!

  1. Select Left/Right mounting location and position switch behind SpeedControl accordingly.
  2. Assemble SpeedControl by sliding bolt onto the slot at the bottom, hook bracket to the SpeedControl, and place the appropriate spacer for your frame on the bracket.
  3. Snap over frame and tighten using supplied tool and nut. After installing, make sure to run the cables to the back of the chair underneath the cushion. Once you plug in the SpeedControl, youā€™re ready to go! You can also use the optional Extended Mount for extra adjustability.
How do I turn Power Assist On/Off?
  • Turn Power Assist ON: Press and hold against the face of the SpeedControl until the unit beeps and the LED turns on bright blue.
  • Turn Power Assist OFF: Press and hold against the face of the SpeedControl until the unit beeps and LED turns off.
SpeedControl mounted directly to my frame interferes with my ability to transfer in/out of my chair. What can I do?

If you havenā€™t already tried so, use the Extended Mount to position the SpeedControl in a way that doesnā€™t interfere with your transfers. If that doesnā€™t work for you, we have other control options that might better fit your needs.

How do I use SpeedControl?
  1. To turn on Power Assist, press against the face of the SpeedControl until the unit beeps and the LED turns on bright blue.
    1. Make sure the dial is rotated all the way back to its ā€œStopā€ limit, then rotate forward to engage SmartDrive and increase speed.
  2. Adjust your cruising speed by turning the dial forward if you want to go faster or backward if you want to go slower.
  3. To stop, rotate the SpeedControl back to the ā€œstopā€ limit and hold on to your wheels.
Power Assist is turned on and Iā€™m rotating the SpeedControl forward, but the SmartDrive is not engaging. What should I do?

For safety reasons, SpeedControl must always start from the ā€œstopā€ limit, so make sure to rotate the dial all the way back before rotating forward. If that doesnā€™t work, contact our support team on our Support page.
