Read Our Handy Guide We understand that your mobility equipment is an everyday necessity. We have factory trained service professionals that can provide service and repairs for your power chair or scooter at our authorized repair shop.
We also perform in-home service calls in the event that you are unable to transport your scooter or power chair to our store. Many issues we see on a day-to-day basis are quickly and easily solved. We have put together an assistance guide which may save you time and money. If you are not located in our service area (southern/central New Jersey) please call the equipment manufacturer to assist you with finding an authorized dealer close by. Have you recently disengaged the freewheel lever to push/move your scooter or power chair out of the way, make sure that you re-engage the levers prior to use of the equipment. Please refer your your owners manual to to find the location of the freewheel lever(s) on your specific mobility equipment. Below is a picture with freewheel lever locations for some of out more common equipment. Engage the freewheel lever – allows you to operate the mobility equipment with the standard controls. Disengage the freewheel lever – This unlocks the unit and allows the wheels to spin freely.
You can easy push the equipment without power. This is especially helpful if you run out of battery power and need assistance. Do not use the mobility equipment while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not disengage the drive motors when the mobility equipment is on an incline or decline, as the unit could roll on its own. Only engage the freewheel mode when on a level surface. It is important to remember that when your mobility equipment is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged. Dynamic PWC controllers are commonly found on Invacare power chairs and Pride Jazzy 614HD. Please note: the flight controllers found Invacare’s Sure-Step models do not have the lock-out feature. Hold the On/Off button down for about 4-seconds to lock the controller. The lights will flash briefly and you will hear a beep sound. Lock Mode is indicated by all LEDs flashing briefly and the information gauge LEDs moving slowly from right to left. Press the horn button 2 times within 10 seconds to unlock the controller.
First check your speed dial or power buttons to ensure they are at your desired speed settings. Are your batteries fully charged? See section – Batteries – for more information. Be sure the the connections to the batteries have not come lose. Try turning the mobility equipment off for an hour and then turning it back on. This is know as a Thermal Roll-Back. It is a safety feature built in to the equipment which helps prevent it from burning out the motors due to overheating under strenuous usage. There is a normal clicking noise from the wheels when stopping and starting. This is the brakes engaging and disengaging when stopping and starting. Check for debris under the unit or around the wheels. If the clicking noise continues while moving and it is a new unit and/or new motor, allow one month break in period to pass. The controls are sensitive and therefore require the joystick to be pushed straight for the unit to move forward. This is also true for reversing.
Think of the joystick like a clock: 12 is forward, 6 is reverse, 3 is right, and 9 is left. Please be sure that you are applying pressure directly and evenly when operating your PWC. These issues may also be caused by one of the freewheel levers being disengaged. Re-engaging the freewheel levers may resolve the issue. Have you replaced the batteries yourself recently? Please ensure that the batteries have been properly installed by checking the wiring. Refer to the battery wiring diagram which should be located on the power base or double check your owner’s manual. Mobility123 Is An Authorized Repair & Service CenterWhich chair, as Goldilocks so aptly put it, is just right? Rocker recliners — think traditional La-Z-Boy — rock when upright and lower fully, usually by means of a hand lever. They start at about $350, but expect to pay $600 and up for a well-built model. A trendier option these days for the space- or style-conscious are push-back models, which recline when you lean back.
They can cost as little as $250, but, on the downside, tend not to last as long as those with levers, since the mechanism gets more of a workout. Also new: wall-saver recliners, which require only about six inches of space between chair and wall, compared to a foot or more needed for heftier traditional versions (though the price is about the same).There are specialty chairs, such as massage and electric recliners. The former can be quite expensive (from $800 to $5,000), and the latter are designed for people with mobility issues. Regardless of what type you choose, check that there's no more than a five-inch gap between the seat and the open leg rest; otherwise, children or pets can get caught and injured. Same goes for the lever — make sure tiny hands (or your own fingers) can't get stuck inside or pinched.Recliners are like shoes — looks are important, but comfort is key. When you're shopping, have family members who'll spend the most time in the chair sit in it for five minutes or more.
Ask yourself: Do my feet touch the floor when the back is upright? Does the headrest support my head and neck? Inspect the seat and back for bumpy parts. And look for foam with a density rating of 1.9 or higher (most furniture cushions range from 0.9 to 2.5), which will ensure that it keeps its shape longer. Test the chair's footrest several times to make sure it's easy to maneuver. Listen for squeaks, which may indicate loose parts or improper alignment.Chairs upholstered in leather are the most durable — and the most expensive, about $1,000 and up. Choose a thick, top-grain leather. If you prefer a suede-like feel, go for a synthetic microfiber instead — it resists moisture and wrinkling and costs from $500 to $1,000. (Don't forget to ask how many times a sample of the fabric has been machine-tested for durability — you want one that's been rubbed at least 10,000 times.) Beware of vinyl chairs. Sure, the new, improved material looks and feels similar to leather for less money ($300 to $700).
But vinyl is less pliable and can crack. Wool is a top fabric choice because it's long-wearing and naturally stain-resistant. Plan on spending about $1,200 and up.Repair experts say it's usually the nonmoving parts that break on a recliner. So scope the underside of the chair (or, if that's not possible, ask to view photos, videos, or sample "cutaways" from the manufacturer). You want to see heavy-duty screws, not dinky ones or, worse, plastic fasteners. Don't be fooled by a gimmicky description like "all-wood construction," which may be code for low-quality pressboard — too soft to withstand the back-and-forth motion of a recliner. Get the salesperson to clarify, and actually look at the bones: Hardwood, like birch or poplar, is superior, but be prepared to spend about $1,000 or more. A decent second choice is plywood, starting at a low $300. Finally, with any recliner, check the manufacturer's guarantee and opt for one that spans at least three years.Ready to shop for the perfect recliner?
