SOURCE: what hapens when your hover round wont start.

What happens is you won't go anywhere!

Seriously, it is usually a case of bad batteries. Each battery should show at least 12 Volts DC across the terminals. If one or both don't, replace, recharge and you should be good to go. If the batteries are good (over 12 volts), and you get no lights on at all, first check that the circuit breaker isn't tripped. It's a small button located on the base with a flexible cover. Push it to reset, and try again. If it's still dead, then remove the seat and the shroud cover and unplug, and replug every single snap-on connection to insure good contact, and check all fuses. If it is still dead, this means the power controller or the joystick are shot ($$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!). Hoverounds usually have a combo joystick/power control module made by PG Drives, and a new one runs about $1,300.00. If you go on Ebay and search for a PG drive controller, make sure that it is one that has identical connections for your chair, or it won't work. You can usually pick them up for 300-400 bucks. They are very easy to install, just unplug, inplug, and go. If you can find somebody in your area with a similar model, you can unplug their joystick and plug it into your chair. If it works, its the joystick control, if not, it's back to a bad connection.

Will a lawn mower batteries fit my hover round powerchair

Lawn mower batteries will not have enough power to operate a power chair. It might run a few short minutes but will not hold. And that's if your chair is 12 volts.

Type of oil use on a squeaky wood chair?

Murphy's oil. It may take a couple of treatments but it will work. The wood is squeaking because it is dry. Dont use other oils because they can cause a break down in the finish and/or stain or laminate on your rocking chair. The Murphy's oil will soak into the wood and help restore the proper moisture to the wood so the squeaking will eventually
