I'm sure that you realize that risk when you purchased the chair. And its also great advice to anyone who is considering on buying a used piece of equipment. If the price seem to good to be true... there may be something broke or breaking. This is another reason to know how to repair what you have and if you don't know someone or company that will.

Thanks. This sounds like what I need. Only problem, the cost will come from my wallet. A rough road any way you go. ____________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:18:07 -0400 To: [email protected] Subject: [QUAD-L] bad chair I hope by now you've looked at _www.roadrunnermobility.com_ (http://www.roadrunnermobility.com/) and made arrangements with them. Be that as it may. You can't imagine the legal ramifications these days with DME working on wheelchairs not sold by them. The other side is being reimbursed by CMS for equipment not paid for by CMS. It is such a major business headache that most DME, 'just say no.' Since Invacare purchased RoadRunner Mobility in Janurary of this year, most of the field service is being done by them in North America. This might be another issue with the local DME as Invacare pays Road Runner less money than they did the DME for service work done for the provider. You and so many others may find yourself between a rock and a hard spot because of this. Hence it is always wise to develop friendships with local DME's before you need them and not during an emergency. Again, Best Wishes In a message dated 7/17/2008 5:16:02 P.M.

None of them will even look at the chair. Why? Because I didn't buy it there. I bought it from an individual. You would think a certified dealer would provide service to its company products, like Ford or Chevy, but not so. Their basic answer was - tough luck bud, but we'd love to sell you a new one. Greedy jerks. I have no idea how to get it fixed. ____________________________________ Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:18:53 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] bad chair To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Are you sure that the levers are in the up position for driving versus pushing? ____________________________________ From: William Willis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 2:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [QUAD-L] bad chair guys, my invacare power chair has died on me. The control box and batteries are ok because I tested them. Every one of the lights on the control box are on. The 'gas gauge' is lit from one side to the other and all the power level lights are on at once. The chair does nothing.
