Powerchair will not drive - ON/OFF light flashing.
If the light in the ON/OFF switch on the joystick box flashes, it indicates a fault in the Powerchair
electric/electronic system. This flashing occurs in "bursts" of flashes separated by a two second pause.
The number of flashes in each of these "bursts" indicates the nature and location of the fault. Faults which
affect the safety of the Powerchair will cause the Powerchair to stop, or prevent it from starting.
For further details refer to Joystick Box Operating Manual supplied with your Joystick.
