The joystick control panel will display a number of possible fault conditions by means of the LED 

light. When the LED light is green, the chair is trouble-free. When a problem occurs, the LED light 

will flash. 

When a “Trouble” LED light flashes, turn off the power of the chair and turn it on again. If the 

flashing “Trouble” LED light remains unchanged, please refer to the table below for possible 

causes and solutions. If you cannot determine the cause of the trouble condition, please contact 

your provider or distributor for assistance.
