What should I do? First make sure the brakes are not engaged. If they are engaged simply push the brake levers into a lock mode and try again. If you have tried this and it still would not move, turn the wheelchair on and make sure you have power on the joystick (i.e. the lights on the joystick lights up).

If your battery is fully charged and the freewheel levers are in the locked position, but you're still having trouble getting your wheelchair to move, there could very well be an internal electrical fault. The joystick may have lost connection to the motor, and no longer has any effect when you try to move it.

One of the most common faults that wheelchair users encounter is worn out, damaged, or ill-fitting upholstery. This persistent issue may make life in a wheelchair very uncomfortable very fast.

Turn the wheelchair controller off. Put the wheelchair in drive mode. Connect the three-pinned plug from the battery charger to the port underneath the controller. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet.

After identifying the yellow freewheel levers and making sure that the chair's power is off, you can now push down both levers to put your chair in freewheel mode. This means that the drive motor is now disengaged and at this point, you can manually push or move the chair.

The reset button is usually located on the side or bottom of your Quantum wheelchair, near the battery or controller.

When your wheelchair lift stops, panic can set in and we tend to act with emotion and sometimes over think simple solutions when you attempt to fix a broken wheelchair lift. In many cases it can be a simple fix, seat belt un-clipped, low voltage or the most common is the door full open limit switch is not activated.

When the motors, batteries, and joystick are connected into the controller, a deflection of the joystick handle sends a signal to the control module, which gets translated into current and voltage energy to send to the motors, which in turn, depending upon the motors, draws energy from the battery.
