Troubleshooting - Pride Backpacker AVP 2.0 Owner's Manual

TROUBLESHOOTING

Any electromechanical device occasionally requires some troubleshooting. However, most of the
problems that may arise can usually be solved with a bit of thought and common sense. Many of these
problems occur because the battery is not fully charged or because the battery is worn down and can
no longer hold a charge.
What if the motor on my lift system will not operate?
■ Make sure the onboard battery or vehicle battery is fully charged.
■ Make sure all connections to the motor and battery are secure.
■ Check the wiring harness for signs of wear and decay. Replace the harness if necessary.
What if the lift system operates slowly up and or down?
■ Make sure the onboard battery or vehicle battery is fully charged.
■ Make sure all connections to the motor and battery are secure.
■ Check the wiring harness for signs of wear or decay. Replace the harness if necessary. Please see
the provider.
What if the lift platform does not lower completely to the ground?
Check to make sure that area under the lift platform is free of obstructions.
What if my wireless pendant will not operate?
■ Make sure that your vehicle's hatch is fully open. If the safety hatch switch is activated, your lift
system will not operate.
■ Ensure that the wireless pendant is programmed to work with your lift system. This supplemental
information is provided with the Wireless Pendant. See "Programming the Wireless Pendant."
■ If the hand control is fully operational but the wireless pendant does not work, the battery may need
to be changed. See "Battery Replacement."
What if my lift system stops working?
■ Make sure the onboard battery or vehicle battery is fully charged.
■ Make sure all connections to the motor and battery are secure.
■ Check the wiring harness for signs of wear and decay. Contact your authorized Pride provider to
replace the harness if necessary.
■ Ensure that the wireless pendant is properly programmed to the lift system. Reset the circuit board
and reprogram the wireless pendant. This supplemental information is provided with the Wireless
Pendant. See "Programming the Wireless Pendant."
NOTE: The puddle light will flash three (3) times then beep three (3) times continuously if there
is a low battery voltage condition. If this occurs, your car battery may be low. Contact your
automotive service provider to check or replace the battery.
