Wheelchair Lifts are known for their reliability and performance, but occasionally, you may encounter an issue. To help you troubleshoot common problems, we have compiled a list of basic tips. However, if basic troubleshooting doesn’t resolve the issue, it’s crucial to schedule a service call with a trained Mobility123 technician to ensure the safe and efficient operation of your Wheelchair Lift.
Basic Troubleshooting Tips and Descriptions:
- Verify power supply: Check that the wheelchair lift is connected to a working power outlet and that the main power switch is turned on. If the lift has a backup battery, make sure it’s charged and functioning properly.
- Inspect door locks and interlocks: Ensure all lift doors are securely closed and that the interlock mechanisms are functioning correctly. The wheelchair lift will not operate if the doors are not locked in place.
- Check control panel (if external): Examine the control panel for any visible damage or malfunctioning buttons. If necessary, reset the wheelchair lift by turning off the main power switch, waiting for a few seconds, and then turning it back on.
- Review error codes: If your wheelchair lift displays an error code, consult the user manual for information about the specific issue and follow the recommended troubleshooting steps.
- Examine the lift platform: Inspect the lift platform for any obstructions, such as debris or foreign objects, that may be causing the wheelchair lift to malfunction.
- Test the emergency stop button and emergency lowering system: Ensure the emergency stop button is working correctly and that the emergency lowering system can be accessed in case of an emergency.
- Inspect the backup battery (if applicable): Check the backup battery for any visible damage, corrosion, or leakage, and make sure it’s properly connected.
When to Call a Mobility123 Trained Technician:
If basic troubleshooting tips do not resolve your Wheelchair Lift issue, it’s essential to schedule a service call with a trained Mobility123 technician for the following reasons:
- Safety: Attempting to repair a wheelchair lift without proper training can result in further damage or compromise the safety features, increasing the risk of accidents.
