II. SAFETY
The Jazzy 1103 is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to enhance your mobility. There are,
however, certain situationsincluding some medical conditionswhere you will need to practice operating your
Jazzy 1103 in the presence of an attendant. Below are some safety tips that are designed to help you become
accustomed to your new Jazzy.
WARNING: The Jazzy 1103 is a motorized vehicle. When you are seated in your
Jazzy 1103 and you anticipate that you are going to be in a stationary
position for an extended period of time, turn off the power. This eliminates
the possibility of unexpected movement and conserves battery power.
TRANSFERS
Transferring onto and off of your Jazzy 1103 requires a good sense of balance. Be sure to have an attendant or
health care professional present while learning to properly transfer yourself. To eliminate the possibility of injury,
we ask that you verify the following before attempting a transfer:
1. Be sure the power is turned off.
2. Be sure the Jazzy 1103 is not in the freewheel mode.
3. Make sure the armrests are flipped up or removed from the powered wheelchair.
4. Tip the footrest up; this helps to keep your feet from hanging up on the footrest during the transfer.
WARNING: Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest.
This may cause the Jazzy 1103 to tip and cause injury!
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Though your Jazzy may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt was not designed with the intent of providing
proper restraint during motor vehicle transport.
l Never sit on or allow anyone to sit on the Jazzy 1103 in a moving vehicle.
l Always be sure your Jazzy 1103 is properly secured when being transported.
TIE-DOWN SYSTEM DISCLAIMER
Neither Pride nor its providers assume responsibility for the Jazzy used in vehicle tie-down applications.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Jazzy 1103 is rated for an 113 kg/18 stone maximum weight limit. Exceeding the weight limit voids your Jazzy
warranty and may result in personal injury.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Wheelchairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator. If you try to
navigate steps or escalators, you can cause injury to yourself and others.

II. SAFETY
PUBLIC ROADS AND PARKING LOTS
WARNING: Do not operate your Jazzy 1103 on public streets and roadways. Please
be aware it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated in your
Jazzy. To ensure your safety, always assume you cannot be seen. Obey all local
pedestrian traffic rules. Safety accessories like reflectors, fluorescent flags, and
various lighting packages are available to order from your Pride provider.
STEPS AND KERBS
l Do not attempt to climb a step or kerb higher than 3 cm.
l Always have assistance when attempting to climb a step or kerb lower than 3 cm.
l Never attempt to proceed backwards down any step, kerb, or other obstacle. Doing so could cause the
Jazzy 1103 to tip.
INCLINES AND UNEVEN TERRAIN
When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your Jazzy straight up
the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. Always exercise extreme caution when navigating an
incline.
l Never travel up or down an incline that can be potentially hazardous (e.g., areas covered with snow, ice, wet
leaves, or cut grass).
l When climbing an incline, try to keep the chair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and accelerate
cautiously.
When moving down an incline, do so slowly and in the forward direction only. If your Jazzy 1103 starts to move
faster than you anticipated, allow the unit to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick. Then push the
joystick forward slightly and continue traveling down the incline.
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE
Pride has performed extensive incline testing with your Jazzy 1103. Our results have shown that the maximum
incline you can climb is 8.7% grade at maximum weight capacity. An 8.7% grade is the angle of most handicap
access ramps. Any attempt to climb a steeper slope may put your Jazzy in an unstable position.
8.7% Grade

JAZZY 1103 COMPONENTS
Your Jazzy has two main assemblies: the seat and the power base. See figure 1. There are a variety of seating
options that are designed to accommodate most users. Typically, the seating system includes armrests, seatback,

The power base is the heart of the Jazzy. The power base assembly includes two motor/brake assemblies, two
anti-tip assemblies, two drive wheels, two anti-tip wheels, a caster assembly with two rear casters, two batteries,
