What to do if Invacare Reliant 450 actuator fails to lift?
- K
  Kara ParkJul 29, 2025
  If the actuator fails to lift when the button is pressed, there are several possible causes. First, ensure the RED emergency stop button is not pressed IN; if it is, rotate it CLOCKWISE until it pops out. Check if the hand control or actuator connector is loose. Also, the battery may be low, so charge the batteries. Another potential issue is that the battery might not be connected properly to the control box, so reconnect it. It is also possible that connecting terminals are damaged, or the actuator is worn or damaged, or the spindle is bent.

  If the lift arms will not lower in the uppermost position, it is likely that they require a minimum weight load to initiate lowering. Try pulling down slightly on the lift arms to overcome this.
