How to Repair a Pride Lift Chair

Pride produces many types of mobility products, including scooters, power chairs and lift chairs. Users who require assistance climbing stairs benefit from the use of a Pride lift chair. If you encounter a problem with your lift chair, apply a few troubleshooting techniques to identify and resolve the problem. Do not attempt to make major repairs to your lift chair; modifications may void the warranty.

Instructions

• 1

  Use a cotton swab to clean the toggle switch on the hand control. While cleaning, flip the switch back and forth to remove trapped dirt and debris. A sticky switch may prevent the chair from moving in both (up and down) directions.

• 2

  Ensure all cables are connected properly. Make sure the external transformer is plugged directly into an electrical outlet. Ensure there is a secure connection between the circuit breaker box and the electrical outlet.

• 3

  Check the circuit breaker box connected to the electrical outlet to ensure the outlet is receiving power. If the outlet is functional, then the problem may be related to a damaged or worn back-up battery. Replace the battery in the external transformer with a fresh 9 Volt battery.
