What does 'System Error' mean on my Handicare PUMA 40 Wheelchair and how can I fix it?
- E
  erica98Aug 30, 2025
  A 'System Error' indicates a fault that cannot be attributed to a specific module. Check all cables and connections. Cycle the power. If the error persists and the system contains 3rd party Modules: Disconnect all the none PGDT modules and cycle the power. If this has cleared the trip: Connect each 3rd party module in turn, cycling the power each time. If the trip reappears after one of the power cycles then the last module to have been added to the system must be defective. If the error persists, the PGDT control system may be defective.

Why ON/OFF light flashes 7 times on Handicare Mobility Aid?

  If the ON/OFF light on your Handicare Mobility Aid flashes 7 times, it indicates a low battery voltage, or the batteries are flat or bad. Charge or replace the batteries. Note that if the voltage is low (less than 12V), the electronics won't work properly, and random LEDs of the DX controller may flash, preventing the wheelchair from functioning.

If there have been no additions: Disconnect one module at a time and cycle the power.
