Fix A Pride Lift Chair

Pride, a manufacturer of mobility products, makes lift chairs that allow people with mobility issues to safely climb stairs. Although these lift chairs are quite reliable, owners may encounter minor problems which require troubleshooting from time to time. Before you attempt to fix your lift chair, check your warranty. The warranty may cover parts and labor. Note that major problems which affect the safety of the device require the attention of a Pride technician. Do not attempt to alter the chair, as modifications may void the warranty. Resolve minor issues through basic troubleshooting techniques.


Instructions


1. Restore power to an inoperable lift chair. Ensure the circuit breaker box is connected to the electrical outlet. Make sure the external transformer is plugged directly into an electrical outlet.








2. Fix a Pride lift chair that only operates in one direction. Use a cotton swab to remove dust and debris from the toggle switch on the hand control. Flip the toggle switch back and forth to loosen any remaining debris which may be causing an obstruction.


3. Fix inoperable heat and massage features. Check the LED lights on the hand controls; the LED display is not lit, hand-tighten the connection between the hand control and the lift chair. Make sure the the heat and massage units are properly connected to the back of the lift chair.
