hi Paul, does it have a speed pot on the tiller head where the buttons are located for the lights etc ? Regards Rob

Need new charger.

Probably need new batteries.

I have the same problem in mine.. But the beep is continous. Mine is a fortress 2000 AT. anybody knows what's the trouble on this one?

Check the brake micro switch, brake coil and all its wiring. Also check motor brushes are not stuck.

Contact Electric mobility:

Make sure it isn't in freewheeling mode, Also check brake and motor connections. Let us know what you find. thanks

Where do you what to bring it? Most cruz ships will allow them but check with them first and also any air line or who ever you asking about.

charger may be faulty. check the charger lead for signs of damage and if damaged fix. if possible check the charger with another wheelchair (maybe a friend has a chair you could try it on) or can you borrow a charger to see if the problem persists with another charger, if it solves the problem you need a new charger, if not then: there could be a loose connection, do you find it has the same problem when the battery pack is fitted and when off board? if it is not the charger there is not much it can be, if you or a friend is handy with a screwdriver you can open the battery box, remove the screws and lift off the lid (just lift a small amount as there are wires attached to it) there is enough space to check that all the wires are securely connected to the charge socket and the batteries. if you have a multi meter check the continuity if they are all good the chances are that the charge socket is damaged and needs replacing, (do an ebay search for: "XLR 3 pin female panel mount socket" they start from about 2.00 pounds) hope that helps mark.

You can find the users manuals online for most models, and that will walk you through it.

Make sure the manual brake isn't down.

SLA or GEL batteries only. U1 is most common size but it can vary depending on model.

Most are 24 volt chargers; some are external, as in, carry it with you, and others are internal, where you would plug a 120 volt household current into the charging port.

The back of the keypad has a flexible metallic coating that comes in contact with a non-flexible metallic circuit under it to activate the switch. With thousands of pushes, this metallic coating wears off and must be replaced by replacing the entire keypad. Sometimes, debris can get underneath the keypad which interferes with the contact, and cleaning with alcohol will clear the problem.

You may have bad bearings in the motor. I would suspect the gearbox. Have you had any issues with the gearbox leaking oil. The bearings/bushings on the drive shaft for the wheels are most likely going bad. If this is the case, you will have to replace the whole axle assy.

Get someone to replace the joy stick. You might be able to get the company to send someone, or a friend might be electrically/mechanically handy. I've found most repairs on my chair can be made by someone competent.

That appears to be a model number, not a brand. The link below may help you: http://www.electricwheelchairparts.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/index.htm

Go to the company website + look for a replacement there. Conversely, go to this website: http://www.electricwheelchairparts.com/batterychargersharness.htm or use a search engine, type in the name of your scooter + pick a place to get it.

The freewheel lever isn't re-engaged properly. Try moving the lever to "free" then back to "drive" again. The lever moves a small micro-switch.

Hi, well it's the bearings normally, the end connected to the gearbox, this a stress area for the motor, personally i wouldn't worry unless it actually slowing down or grinding , vibration so enjoy... Regards Rob www.gewizrepairs.co.uk
