How to Program an Invacare Pronto & Ranger II Power Wheelchairs

A short how-to-video on programming Invacare MK4 & MK5 series power chair controllers.
Thanks to Mr. Mobility for providing me the programmer to accomplish this. You can rent or buy this programmer from him. Just check out his auction listings at: myworld.ebay.co...

I'm guessing if the motors are going to be used in a project with an arduino and remote control there would be no point in programming unless the motors have a board inside. The remote on my chair is busted up and batteries are shot. I can do all the programming I need with an arduino or raspberry pi wouldn't you think?

RECHARGING DEAD BATTERIES:
I just bought a used Pronto M91 R SureStep Electric Wheelchair from a thrift store for my Dad.
​It had been there for a while and it's batteries were dead.
​When I would plug in the on board charger, it would not charge but instead flash Red indicating defective.....
​What I found is that the expensive batteries were still good, but that the onboard charger will not recharge the batteries if they are too discharged-low voltage state.
​What brought the batteries back to life was, I removed the seat and covers to the batteries.
​I disconnected the two battery quick release connectors cables.
​I connected an 10 amp automotive battery charger (use the deep cycle battery setting if it has one) each battery separately, for equal times(say 3 hours) BUT Not to a full charge-(Automotive battery chargers full charge to a higher voltage than what gel batteries tolerate).
​I then reconnected the batteries together and plugged in the onboard charger which now showed the yellow-charging mode and let charge overnight.
​The batteries are now full and seem fine.
​Hope this helps!

For anyone whose wondering whether or not it's worth it to get Hold of a programmer and adjust the settings on your pronto, let me just say absolutely 100 times over! Yes you can rent them still, from Victor through ebay, with a $300 deposit and it is worth 10x that. You can gain a good amount of speed by just turning up the speed and acceleration bit you gain even more by changing the ohms and the turning acceleration /deceleration and others. You can feel free to contact me for any tips but definitely do it without fail!

[@palazromulus]

hi! i have a wheelchairs Jazzy 1121 and i need a program for juistic.thank you

[@dystonia4life]

What is the top speed on your power chair after the programing I have a pronto M6 I want to make go faster since it was designed as an indoor power power chair but I use mine mostly outdoors?

Settings are going to be different for each user. This isn't a bad instructional video at all. 2:30 in is the most important point. Don't go into standard settings if you want to save some of your old settings. This is free information that can help people. I don't understand why Mr. Whitlock considers this a Ripoff. I look forward to Mr. Whitlock's contributions to the alter-abled community's knowledge pool.

Mr Witlock never learns or benefits from trying to think or s act outside the box because he never trusts or believes in anything, especially himself

I have a similar wheelchair that I think is locked but I don't have the lock button. I tried holding the power button down but it just turns off. There is a small flashing X ,yellow, at the bottom of the joystick. Please help me, if you can. Thanks David

[@smash7777-]

Hi buddy. When you turn the chair on hold the joystick forward till it beeps then hold the stick back. You should hear a long beep then your chair should go :)
