I had a used chair with a piece of a zip-tie wedged in there. The rubber glove may work better. I removed the zip tie and tossed it. Never had trouble with my controller tips coming off. Nice video. I got a kick out of the disclaimer too...

Green thread locker or shaft locker is designed to wick into small gaps while it is liquid, then cure anaerobically, retaining something on a shaft. The fluid color codes are thankfully universal across brands like Permatex and Locktite. www.henkel-adhesives.com/us/en/insights/all-insights/blog/difference-between-threadlockers.html www.permatex.com/product-category/thread-compounds/retaining-compounds/

I purchased a metal joystick knob from Josh at Cripple Concepts. It has set screws and hasn't slipped in two years. Stylish too! I had not heard of the black hot glue. Will check it out!

I cut the fingertip off a rubber glove put it over metal pin and put rubber know over that. It's not permanent but, works in a pinch. I always carry a spare glove.

This kept happening to me, so I would push down really hard on it and now my chair keeps jerking to the right. ☹️ I have a quantum 4 front power chair. Any idea on how to fix it now?

Hello, how are you? I hope you are well. I have a Quantum wheelchair. I bought a controller because the one I had got wet due to the connector that charges the chair. I bought another one because it didn't want to work. It doesn't start working after it got wet and on the screen it says "Registering the Network." The controller I have now is doing the same thing. I would like to know if you can tell me what I can do to fix it. My controller got wet and I put my chair on charge like that and then the problem came. I thought it was the controller, but now I know it isn't because with the new controller it does the same thing.

hmm i havent tried to remove one yet actually! i'v taken them apart.. but some brands have a circlip inside that holds, some use a small grub screw, and others just pull off. if the joystick is taken apart, should be able to figure out how its affixed in place

The place that sells the knob and spring don’t know how to install it. Dealers prefer not to say. I’ll just keep operating it manually. I don’t know if other manufacturers are like quantum or not but quantum’s are about impossible to find any information out about. That’s why I like your videos!! Thank you.

I can see some what how it’s in there. I stopped video and enlarged it. The squeeze together connectors in there are fricking junk. Don’t know if you’ve seen the blue ones that open up and you lay the wires in it fold it around them and squeeze. People use them on trailers all they do is cause corrosion and problems. Thank you again

Just watched your video! Thanks! In order to REMOVE the knob from mine so I can replace IT & the boot below it I twisted (by hand) the knob a little. and now the joystick is sticky and won't spring back to center by itself. I wonder if I twisted it too much and accidentally tightened it too much? Any ideas? Thanks!
@TotallyNormal-
2 жыл бұрын
depending on the brand of chair.. there is a spring down inside there that can dislodge on its little clip.. usually the boot wont come out from the top side. if the entire joystick is twisted too hard near the bottom it can effect things.. theres another video ya can see how that mechanism works.. youll probably have to skip around the video a bit.. kzitem.info/news/bejne/x3lnnap3q4qXf6Q

there is usually a bolt with a nylock washer that holds it on at the pivot point that can be removed.. they're all a bit different.. but usually ya can remove that, or after the wheel is off, remove the pin in the lever on the gearbox itself..
