      If your Permobil Wheelchair won't start, the batteries may be discharged. To resolve this, charge the batteries. Also, ensure the cable connection to the control panel is secure by inserting the cable into the control panel. Another potential cause is that the main fuse might be switched to the OFF position, especially after a battery replacement. If so, reset the main fuse.

      If your Permobil Wheelchair isn't charging, it could be due to the Circuit Breaker being in the ”OFF” position, especially after battery changes; reset it. Alternatively, the charging fuse may have triggered due to a fault in the batteries, charger, charging cables, or charging outlet. Carefully check these components for possible causes before replacing the fuse.

      If the battery voltage indicator on the control panel is blinking once every 2.5 seconds and the Permobil Wheelchair cannot be driven, it means that the control system is in Sleep Mode. To solve this, switch the Start button on the control panel off and on again.

      If your Permobil Wheelchair can only be driven at a reduced speed (applies for electrical seat lift only), it might be because the seat lift is raised from its lowest position. To fix this, lower the seat lift.
