Product Life Expectancy 

Your powerchair has been designed to provide the user with a long, reliable 
life provided it is correctly maintained and regularly serviced by an authorised 
dealer. However due to inevitable wear and tear and technological 
improvements it is recommended that the average usable life of this 
powerchair is five years. 

 

 

Note: Should any parts need replacing during routine maintenance 
please consult your local Dealer for approved spare parts for your 
powerchair. Failure to do so may damage the product and void your 
warranty. 

 

 

TROUBLESHOOTING 
 

Circuit Breaker 

Your powerchair is fitted with electronic controls that are programmed to 
protect the electrical system from overload. Fitted for extra protection is a 
circuit breaker. Should there be a situation where your powerchair stops for 
no apparent reason please check that the circuit breaker has not tripped. The 
circuit breaker is located at the rear left of the powerchair just under the seat.  

                                                                 

 

Note: Should the breaker continue to trip turn off the powerchair 
immediately and consult your dealer. 

 

Fuses 

Inline fuses to the batteries protect any overload in the circuit (40A blade 
type fuses situated under the shroud on the main battery cable).  
 

Note: Should the fuses need replacing please contact your local 
Dealer to ensure the correct sizes are fitted. Failure to do so could 
result in permanent damage to the powerchair’s electrics and 
possibly cause a fire hazard. Failure to do this will void your 
warranty. 

 

Check List 

If your powerchair fails to operate, please check the following: 

  Unit is switched on 

  Battery level indicator shows full charge 

  Freewheel levers are in drive position 

  Plugs and terminals are secure 

 
If the freewheel device has been operated with the powerchair switched on, it 
will not operate until the unit is switched off and on again.
