8. GENERAL TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE
• Chair will not lift
1. Check the chair is plugged into an electrical outlet and that the outlet is
switched on.
2. Check the cable is not damaged. Check the fuse in the plug. Check the house
fuse is in order. If fuses blow after being replaced, do not use the chair but
unplug it and contact Care Co Customer Services.
3. Continuous use of the chair mechanism over a short period will overheat the
motor. This will trip the safety switch and the chair will not work. Wait for 10 to
15 minutes and the switch will reset. The chair will now operate again. If it fails
to operate contact Care Co Customer Services.
• Noises
All motors hum and vibrate slightly, this is normal. There are many moving parts
and you may hear noises when operating the chair. However, if the noise is
excessive, contact CareCo Customer Services.
• Motor hums but will not lift
Contact CareCo Customer Services as there could be a mechanical failure.
• Motor keeps running and will not shut off
