Thanks Dan for your answer. When I checked it out when it first happened I pulled the wheel on the left side and found one of the brushes had a completely disintegrated spring so I thought that had to be it. I ordered 2 brushes from monster something or other and they sent the wrong ones. After that I measured them and ordered 2 pair from eBay. They came in and were slightly wide. I filed them down so they fit but it still ran in circles. I then pulled the motor housing and clean ended the commutator really good and still no go. I then took the brake off the left side to see if the brake was locked and still no go. The armature looked great. Thanks Dan for your time and really quickly answering
dang.. the windings in the motor might be bad then :^/ ya can check the resistance on both motors and see if the other side is significantly different.. (its the larger wires on the 4 pin connectors going into the main controller) depending on the control system, the brush issue could have caused a problem inside the controller as well.. this is where things start getting a bit more expensive... like buying a pair of motors on ebay to test etc.. ya checked all the right things tho!
Car tires are actually cheaper than wheelchair tires, I think people try and rip off the disabled, I'm on the lookout for some that will fit my invacare storm 4, I have the GGB motors on it and the rim size is 2.5, I've tried a tire with a 3.0 rim and it will not go on. Nice one Dan with the tires and the seat back 👍
I have those tyres on my permobil without trimming the bead the trick is to use some longer bolts while you cinch the wheel together and then swap them out for the standard boats hope it helps I have been raging on a set for about four years and their only just starting to get bald
Castors - maybe a washer on 'very first' then bolt won't protrude as much, it may affect the flutter but nothing to lose. Suck eggs grandma.... Or something : ) Great vid, thanks and see ya later.
Hey Dan. Another informative video. Do you think permobil footplates would fit an edge 3? Mine are just to narrow and I haven't had any luck searching for quantum footplates.
the mounting methods are completely different unfortunately.. BUT quantum does make bolt-on extensions or little 'wings' that attach! there are a few versions.. but they look something like this.. www.ebay.com/itm/134755434187
this video is about installing a different brand of tires, but shows the basics. time-codes are in video description! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XBnVv-oF2K0.html
Hey there I was wondering if you could ask a question about my jazzy elite HD. My question is what do you think is causing my chair to only go in circles? It seems my left wheel is locked
I’d check the brake levers- flip them a few times, and also the motor connections on the main controller under the back cover- sometimes they come loose. But typically any of those issues with cause an error.. might need a new set of motors :-/
good video Dan! I wanted to ask you how I can clean the light buttons on a CJSM2 controller. They don't work well and I don't want to break the controller. Thank you.
