What if my wheelchair will not start?
Check to see whether the power switch has been switched 'on'. If it is, the battery
indicator meter will be operating. If the status light on your joystick is flashing once per
second, your battery is low in charge. Charge your battery.
A:
What if the status light on the power switch fail to operate when the switch is in the
'on' position?
Make sure the charger is not plugged into the charge socket of your wheelchair. When
your wheelchair is being charged, you will not be able to drive.
A:
What if my wheelchair stops for no apparent reason?
Your battery may not be working properly or if the park brake is mechanically released or
the park brake is faulty, the chair will not be able to drive. A park brake Error flash code
will occur and the power wheelchair will not be able to drive.
If the wheelchair moves at a higher speed than Anti-Rollaway max speed, the controller
will automatically power-up and then slow the wheelchair down, using dynamic braking,
until it stops. Contact your authorized wheelchair provider.
A:
What if the battery indicator is operational but the status light flashes and the
wheelchair is inoperable?
Check the status fault codes indicated by the LED on your power switch flashing.
Check to make sure that the magnetic brake release is not disengaged. If the magnetic
break release is disengaged, the status light on the power switch will flash five or six
times.
A:
What if my wheelchair does not slow down or behave erratically?
Switch off the power and contact your authorized wheelchair dealer.
A:
If you find for any reason your wheelchair does not reduce speed when you let
go of the joystick, power off your wheelchair. The parking brake will activate
immediately and stop your wheelchair. Be aware that the wheelchair will stop
very suddenly. Hold onto your armrest and sit back in your seat.
The above operation should only be carried out in an emergency; continual use
of this operation will damage the drive transmission and motor brake. Inform
your authorized wheelchair dealer before using your wheelchair again.
If you feel for any reason that your wheelchair is not driving correctly or
making unusual noise, stop using the wheelchair and contact your authorized
wheelchair dealer.
