To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is my Invacare Wheelchair actuator speed too slow?
If the actuator speed on your Invacare Wheelchair is too slow, it could be due to low battery voltage (recharge the batteries) or the programming speed being set too low. Check TRECM programming to confirm the speed setting for the desired actuator.
Why is my Invacare Wheelchair slow when driving?
If your Invacare Wheelchair slows or stops while driving and the DPJ Joystick - ORANGE LED flashes or MPJ Joystick - “HOT” or “SLOW” is displayed, it is likely due to current rollback. This occurs when the wheelchair has been driven under a heavy load for an extended period. Adjust driving parameters to match the environment and allow time for the electronics to cool down by using it for light duty.
Why is my Invacare MK5 EX seating system not working?
If the seating system on your Invacare Wheelchair is not functioning correctly or is working intermittently, it could be due to several reasons: - Low batteries (charge them). - A faulty electrical connection (check all connections). - A blown fuse (replace the wiring harness). - The seat has been driven under a heavy load for an extended period of time (allow time for the electronics to cool down). - Open Motor connection/Motor locks disengaged (check all motor connectors and make sure motor locks are engaged). - A malfunctioning seating system controller (replace seating system controller. Contact Invacare). - A bad user switch (Use the programmer to check the TRECM Current Status Menu for switch status).
How to fix Invacare MK5 EX Wheelchair drive lock-out?

Why does Invacare Wheelchair veer to the left or right?
If your Invacare Wheelchair veers to the left or right on a level surface, the joystick likely needs calibration. You can calibrate the joystick with a programmer. If calibrating doesn't solve the issue, the joystick may need to be replaced. Refer to Joystick Throw on page 25 for calibration information.
What to do if Invacare Wheelchair does not respond to commands?
If your Invacare Wheelchair isn't responding to commands, the issue might stem from a poor battery terminal connection (ensure terminals are clean), a bad joystick connection (check all connections), or a faulty wiring harness connection or blown fuse (replace wiring harness).
