NRS Hoveround MPV 4 - Hovaround Used Electric Wheelchair - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
How much a switch model MKVI 1089384?
This part is for an Invacare power wheelchair with TRSS. This is a tilt and or recline single switch for actuator control. A search on the Invacare website shows an active part number and no price. A search of e_bay shows pricing between 50 and 150 dollars. This switch is easy to replace. plug the black "Lego " block into the power source, the 2 pin Anderson plug into the actuator and the Molex into the limit switch. You may need to switch the plug polarity of the 2 pin output to the actuator to get it to go in the right direction. The part was used on MkIV and MkV and some MKVI systems and should be readily available on line. Hope this helps.
Jazzy Select GT only goes in circles
You have one motor in free wheel. Which ever direction the chair is going to circle, place that motor back into drive mode. Depending on your model, the lever is gray and located just behind drive wheel or, is yellow located in the front under the seat.
Flash codes
It means the chair is in free wheel. Move the two levers under the seat to place in drive.
Mpv 4 will not power up
You must follow the power. With a multimeter start at batteries, go to battery connections, connections into control module, out of control module and at controller.
You should have at least 12.6V on each battery and not below 25V for both. If you have readings lower, replace the batteries. If you get at least these readings, it should be the same V readings all the way through the system. When it is not, that is where the problem is.
Hoveround MPV4
Check your battery connections, make absolutely sure it is connected correctly.
Place a multimeter in the XLR plug (joystick). You should have around 26V reading if batteries are connected correctly.
Check the free wheel levers. place the chair in free wheel and move back and forth a couple of times. Place the chair back into drive, turn on controller and try to drive. ( This is not typically associated with a clicking sound but will ensure your brakes are not on)
If you are still hearing a clicking sound, it could be a problem with the brake or a motor. A qualified technician should really look at it for you.
How do i get to battery on hubaround?
1. Disconnect the control cable (cable going from joystick to the back of chair)
2. Remove seat. (Be careful with the seat post, they often have grease on them)
3. Unplug battery cable.
4. Disconnect the black strap holding the battery cover.
5. Pull up the cover to reveal battery.

Hoveround dealer near Durant OK?
Hoveround is a manufacturer that does not sell their products to independent DME companies. You must call their national number.
MPV4 - Right wheel is semi locked
Could be a number of issues here.
Caster bearings need cleaning\replacement
Fork bearings need cleaning\replacement.
Drive Tires could be too low and need air.
Motors were not properly mounted to gearbox and/or motor coupler is damaged.
Too much crud is wrapped around a wheel - obstruction.
The VSI controller isn't flashing a code so you are electrically connected to the motors, brakes and batteries. Problem appears to be mechanical - not electrical.
Where do i find a headrest for a mpv4
check your local dealer for a used one. might need pictures and some leg work, the types vary from model to model but sometimes cross manufacturers pictures help. or the dealer can order a new one but prepare for sticker shock.

bbass you will have to order a joystick from Hoverround or a hoveround provider if you want a new one. You can also check on e-bay or with a provider that might have a good used joystick. cost could be as much as 600.00 Hope this helps
When I push the buttonThe
it sounds to me like there is a breaker that needs to be reset for the motors . I am not sure exactly where it would be located on your scooter but it should be somewhere near the motors . or down on the base of the unit somewhere . it will be 1 or 2 small black push buttons and they will be popped out a little bit .preston in and they will click .if they did click that means the breaker was tripped . pushing them in resets them . once you have reset the breakers try the unit again . hopefully this will have solve your problem . if you have any other questions or need more clarification please ask a question the comments and I will be happy to give you further information .
