Locking Your Heartway Electric Wheelchair





The first step is to turn your wheelchair on if it isn't already. Then you will need to hold the power button until you hear a beep. Move the joystick forward and hold again until you hear another beep, then move the joystick backwards and hold until you hear the beep again. Performing this swiftly is key! If you wait too long between these steps, it will cancel and you will need to start again. It may take a few tries to get it right, and that's perfectly okay! I know it sure took me a few tries when I did it!
