Technical Frequently Asked Questions
My unit will not run. I've checked the battery and the control indicator tells me it has plenty of charge. What can it be?
- If the unit is charged and powered on, check to see if the wheel levers are disengaged. A power chair has two "freewheel" levers; scooters have one. The unit will not run if the levers are disengaged, as this means the wheels are disengaged from the motor. You may hear the motor running, but the unit won't move. If the wheel levers face out, pull them in towards the unit.
- Check to see that the unit is not plugged into the wall. The equipment is not designed to move while still plugged.
- Check the circuit breaker, located on the bottom back of the unit next to the charger cord outlet. If the breaker is blown, it will poke out about ¼ to ½ inch. You can easily reset the circuit breaker by pushing it back in until it clicks. The button reads "Press to reset." If the unit was on an incline or operating in the sand, it may have tripped. If the circuit breaker trips occasionally, that is normal. If this is a recurring problem, or if resetting the breaker did not work, request a Service Technician at 1-877-311-0333.
