Malfunctions / troubleshooting

CAUTION
Risk of accidents and injury due to uncontrolled move-
ments of the power wheelchair. Uncontrolled movements
can occur during the operation of the power wheelchair as
a result of malfunctions. In this case, please contact your
authorised specialist dealer immediately.
INFORMATION
During use of the power wheelchair, electrical discharges
(high voltage with low current; discharge via the user) may
occur which are caused by factors such as friction. How-
ever, these do not represent a health hazard.
The resulting discomfort can be prevented by customisa-
tion measures (attaching a mechanical discharge contact
/ grounding strap to the wheelchair frame). The user's en-
vironment must be taken into consideration.
Electrostatic discharge may also occur if the power wheel-
chair is equipped with puncture-proof tyres. Retrofitting the
wheelchair with pneumatic tyres can correct this problem.

INFORMATION
Should you encounter problems while troubleshooting or if
you cannot eliminate the faults completely through the
measures described here, please contact your specialist
dealer.
Faults are indicated on the control panel LCD display or by
the attendant control LEDs. Tab. 9/10 describes the indi-
vidual displays with the corresponding fault sources as well
as the possible causes and measures to be taken.
If faults which arise cannot be fully corrected through the
described measures, a specialist dealer will be able to read
the exact error code with a handheld programming device
and perform a targeted system analysis.
All faults that have ever occurred are saved in a list and can
be retrieved, e.g. in case of a general overhaul of the power
wheelchair. The saved data can be used to determine future
service and maintenance intervals, for example.
