Trouble shooting
If your Powerchair will not go, follow this checklist
1. Check that the lights on control Joystick are illuminated.
2. If there are no lights on controller, check that all leads/plugs, which connect to
controller, are pushed in and secure.
3. Check for damaged cables.
4. Check that the motor cables are properly connected.
5. Check all battery wiring is connected.
6. Check circuit breaker located at rear left of the wheelchair and reset. The
circuit breaker will trip when the wheelchair is stalled for a prolonged period or
if a major fault has occurred. If circuit breaker continually trips for no apparent
reason, cease use and contact nearest Glide service agent.
Important: Allow 60 seconds before resetting circuit breaker.
7. If you still have problems after reviewing the above checklist, please contact
your nearest Glide Agent or Glide Products direct.
Wheelchair Speed suddenly reduced .
The wheelchair controller has built in safety features to reduce damage to the
controller and motors. In the event your wheelchair suddenly reduces speed, it
may be because over heating of the controller. This could happen going up a
long steep hill or if been continually in a stalled situation. Give the wheelchair
time to cool and try again. If the problem persists, then contact your Glide
selling Agent.
If
Smart Drive Encoders are fitted and a problem is detected by the controller
then the wheelchair speed will be reduced by 50% (get you home mode). It will
be safe to continue to drive but all functionality of the encoder will cease to
operate unit rectified.
Encoders are mounted on front of each motor. Check cables for damage or
possible disconnection.
If you are unable to rectify then the issue must be addressed with a service
Technician at your earliest convince.
