My pronto m61 stops if I go over a bump or uneven surface, the only way I can get it going again, is to release both drive lock bars, giggle it about, push them back in, then it goes till the next bump, always when I stops the spanner light flashes.

ceejay a 9 flash error code usually means a brake fault. But a brake fault will not cause the chair not to power up. Check all your connections especially where the cable comes out the back of the joystick and where that same cable plugs into the cable to the controller. Sometimes the switch on the joystick fails to make good contact with the circuit board in the joystick and you can try pushing it in different spots to see if will come on. Also check the circuit breaker to make sure it hasn't tripped. If you have a digital voltmeter you can set it on 200 volts dc and plug the leads into the two outter holes on the charger port located under the front of the joystick. You should be reading the battery voltage and fully charged get 25-27 volts. If you don't get any reading then there is a problem in the cable or joystick or power from the batteries. You didn't say if Medicare paid for your chair. If they did they will pay for most of the repair costs. If they did you can contact Repair Xpress @ 1-877-581-3733 or Roadrunner Mobility @ 1-800-467-2668 to have a tech come out to check your chair. Hope this helps you

SOURCE: help I stupidly got my

The M61 has an elevating seat. There is a speed limit switch which consists of 2 magnets that make contact under the seat on the seat post. If the 2 magnets are together then the chair thinks the seat is all the way down. If the magnets aren't touching it activates a safety feature in the controls which cuts power to the chair by 50% hence drives real slow. Try lowering the elevating seat down through the joystick controls. If that doesn't fix it then either the magnet switches on the seat post came unplugged or broke.

How can I get the drive configuration on my Pronto Sure Z Step wheelchair

Better left to a dealer, but this seems to be it but not 100% sure because of this section. Why 'stepper', does it have stepper motors?

2006 Buick Rendezvous rear end feels like it is fishtailing when driving on uneven pavement

On a 2006, the towing weight probably split the Sway Bar bushings. The sway bar stops the back from swaying. Could also be shocks as well or both.

Push down on the back and see if it bounces.

I have a pronto M61. Forward speed is very slow even when adjusted to higher speeds. Turning speed increases normally. Is there a problem in the joystick?

Has this chair got power raiser for seat? if so check it is fully down or check down micro switch. These will not go fast with the seat raised. A safety option built in.

My son has a invacare chair should go 6 mph but has slowed to a snails crawl. How Can I speed it back up?

The chair may be in what they call SLOW MODE or the batteries are weak. If you have powered seating on the chair the seat has sensors that make the chair drive slow or not drive at all when the seat is tilted or reclined or raised. A sensor can go bad or get out of position. The joystick could have different programming for different drive modes. Try changing drive modes.

Why are my brakes locking up and grinding whenever i hit a bump or uneven surface while braking?

Sounds like you have a speed sensor signal dropping out. This would cause the ABS system to falsely think one of the wheels has locked up and would turn on the abs to unlock the wheel.

You can visually check the wiring harnesses to the speed sensors to see if there are any corroded connections, corroded wires or broken wires. If everything looks good than the next step would be to drive it with a scan tool and watch ABS data. You should be able to spot the speed sensors that drops out on the scan tool when the problem occurs. Than you can focus on that wheel to see what the problem is.

Can the pronto M61 be pushed without using the motor like a manual wheelchair?

Yes it can. Release the clutch levers on each motor.The levers are located on each side of the chair sticking up through the plastic body, just rear of the drive wheels. The levers are quarter inch round rods with a black rubber boot covering the ends of the rods. The rods are either pushed forward to drive or pulled back to unlock the drive wheels.
