With an electric wheelchair, you can consider doing daily activities such as grocery shopping, cooking, ventilation, etc., which can basically be done by one person with an electric wheelchair. So, what are the common faults of electric wheelchairs and how to deal with them?
Compared with traditional wheelchairs, the powerful functions of electric wheelchairs are not only suitable for the elderly and infirm, but also for severely disabled patients. Stability, long-lasting power, and speed adjustability are the unique advantages of electric wheelchairs. The failures of electric wheelchairs mainly include battery failure, brake failure and tire failure:
1. Battery: The problem that the battery is more prone to is that there is no way to charge it and it is not durable after charging. First, if the battery cannot be charged, check whether the charger is normal, and then check the fuse. Small problems basically appear in these two places. Secondly, the battery is not durable after charging, and the battery is also damaged during normal use. Everyone should know this; the battery life will gradually weaken over time, which is normal battery loss; if it occurs suddenly Battery life problems are generally caused by excessive discharge. Therefore, in the process of using the electric wheelchair, the battery should be diligently maintained.
2. Brakes: The reason for brake problems is often caused by the clutch and rocker. Before each trip with an electric wheelchair, check whether the clutch is in the “on gear” position, and then check whether the joystick of the controller bounces back to the middle position. If it is not for these two reasons, it is necessary to consider whether the clutch or controller is damaged. At this time, it is necessary to repair it in time. Do not use an electric wheelchair when the brakes are damaged.
3. Tires: A common problem with tires is puncture. At this time, you need to inflate the tire first. When inflating, you must refer to the recommended tire pressure on the surface of the tire, and then pinching the tire to see if it feels firm. If it feels soft or your fingers can press in, it may be an air leak or a hole in the inner tube.
