Jet 7 Portable Power Chair - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Lite Blinks continusleyon control ,chair
I am assuming you have a Jet 7 with a VSI controller (manufactured by Penny and Giles) with a steady flash of all the speed and profile LEDs (lights). This is a no drive away feature of the VSI if the charger is plugged in. The older Penny and Giles controllers indicate the same flash code.
If you have an on- board charger check to see if it is plugged into the wall. If it is, unplug it and see if the chair runs. Sometimes, you have to remove the back cover and unplug the charger haress at the output of the charger inside the electronics housing (much more difficult). A failed on-board charger can inhibit the VSI controller (no drive away) even if it unplugged from the wall outlet. There is also a charger inhibit harness with a fuse that might have failed. A qualified technician can jumper this harness to bypass and test.
If you have an off-board charger unplug it from the wall or unplug it from the charging port in the front of the VSI. If the chair runs in either case you have a bad charger.
You may also have a bad VSI controller which can be rebuilt or replaced. Start with the basic charger unplug tests and then work your way to the VSI controller. Hope this helps.
Find serial number
it is either on the rear or under the cover which means u have to take seat off first
How do i reset a jet 7 mobile wheelchair
did you put it in lockout accidentally? try this! turn off chair, press and hold the on button till a beep is heard, push and hold the joystick forward till a beep is heard, then pull back and hold joystick till beep is heard, turn off, and turn on. it should work now?
Batteries won't charge
are the batteries over 4 years old? these particular batteries will lose their ability to hold a charge over time, and charging them will not have any effect. you could also have the charger tested. batteries plus stores can test the charger and the batteries for you.
Power chair will not charge
Get new batteries and make sure the charger is charging by checking the voltage at the charger port located under the front of the joystick. With the charger plugged in set a voltmeter to 200vdc and plug the leads into the two outter holes of the charger port. You should be reading 27-32 volts if the charger is working correctly. Without the charger plugged into the wall outlet you will be reading the battery voltage 25-27 volts fully charged Hope this helps you
Powerchair doesn't move 1 red
John,
This flash code indicates that the battery needs charging or there is a bad connection to the battery. Check the connections to the battery. If the connections are good, try charging the battery.
This flash code can be seen at the following link:

With the battery voltage too low the chair will not move. Hope this helps.
Hello, After fully charging my mother's Jazzy
Sorry but it sounds like weak batteries. I would replace both batteries and after installation fully charge before use. Then ask Mom to use the chair more each day so you can charge them overnight each day for the next 20 days. It will break in the batteries and get them operating at 100%. If you can get her to use it more and charge it overnite and always put it up at full charge the batteries should last 2-3 years Hope this helps
