Hand Controls

Monarch Mark 1-A.

The Hand Control recommended most often by rehabilitation driving specialists.

MPS's Monarch 1 -A is the right choice in mechanical hand controls. It utilizes one of the most popular and most recommended method of operating acceleration and breaking. This smooth operating control allows for miles and miles of relaxing trouble-free driving.

The brake is applied by pushing the operating handle directly towards the brake pedal down the shaft of the steering column. The accelerator is activated by moving the operating handle toward the driver's seat, at a right angle to the brake movement. These movements have been found to be the least fatiguing for the driver. The brake and accelerator can be used separately or simultaneously.

Installation of MPS's products require a minimum amount of modifications to the vehicle. All hand controls and accessories may be used for either right or left hand activation. The hand control does require automatic transmission, and must only be installed on vehicles with power steering and power brakes.

Optional Accessories

Brake Only
The brake only control is available for persons with sufficient foot motion and strength to operate the accelerator but not the brake. Should an accelerator control become necessary, the needed components can be added to the existing control.

Toggle Type Dimmer Switch and Horn Button
A toggle type dimmer switch and separate Horn Button are available for use with the "Monarch Mark I-A" or brake only hand control.
