GENERAL GUIDELINES

MANDA T OR Y! Do not operate your new pow er chair for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual.

Y our power chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility . Pride provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the power chair user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of power chair to be used is the responsibility of the power chair user, who is capable of making such a decision, and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).

The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the power chair to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.

There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the power chair user will need to practice operating the power chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a power chair user in various daily living activities.

As you begin using your power chair during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.

Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed to operating your power chair safely .

Modifications

Pride has designed and engineered your power chair to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of accessories is available from your authorized Pride Provider to further customize your power chair to better suit your needs and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify , add, remove, or disable any feature, part, or function of your power chair.

WARNING! Do not modify your power chair in any way not authorized by Pride. Do not use accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride products.

Pre-Ride Safety Check

Get to know the feel of your power chair and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your power chair operates smoothly and safely .

Perform the following inspections prior to using your power chair:

! Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed 35 psi (2.4 bar) in each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires. ! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded. ! Check all controller connections to the power base. Make sure they are secured properly . ! Check the brakes. See VII. “Care and Maintenance.” ! Check battery charge. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”

NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.

II. SAFETY

Weight Limitations

Y our power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity . Please refer to the specifications table for this limit.

MANDA TORY! Sta y within the specified weight capacity of your power chair . Exceeding the w eight capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.

WARNING! Do not carr y passengers on your power chair. Carr ying passengers on your power chair may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.

Tire Inflation

If your power chair is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked regularly . Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your power chair.

WARNING! It is important that 35 psi (2.4 bar) tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 35 psi (2.4 bar) tire pressure in pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.

WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire.

Incline Information

More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your power chair.

! Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline. ! Take wide swings with your power chair’ s front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the power chair’s rear

wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.

! When driving down a ramp, keep the power chair’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a

safely controlled descent.

! A void sudden stops and starts.

When climbing an incline, try to keep your power chair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate cautiously . When driving down an incline, set your power chair to the slowest speed setting and drive in the forward direction only . If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick, then push the joystick forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.

WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the power chair in freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your power chair straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.

WARNING! You should not tra vel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).

WARNING! Never travel down an incline backward. Doing so may cause the power chair to tip. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.

WARNING! If your power chair is equipped with a reclining seatback, do not attempt to negotiate inclines with the seat in a reclined position. Do not attempt to negotiate obstacles with the seat in a reclined position unless an attendant is present to help stabilize the chair. Failure to heed could result in the power c hair tipping o v er.

Jazzy 1 143 Ultra www .pridemobility.com 11

II. SAFETY

WARNING! Even though your power chair is capable of climbing slopes greater than those illustrated in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your power chair .

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all handicap public access ramps are required to have a maximum slope of 5° (8.7%). Therefore, Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 5° (8.7%). See figure 1.

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° (8.7 chair in an unstable position and cause it to tip.

Freewheel Mode

Y our power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers to allow for manual maneuverability by a trained attendant. For more information about how to place your power chair into and out of freewheel mode, see III. “Y our Power Chair .”

WARNING! Do not use your power chair in freewheel mode without an attendant present. WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your power chair in freewheel mode

while seated on it. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary. WARNING! Do not place your power chair in freewheel mode while on an incline or

decline. This could cause the chair to roll uncontrollably on its own.

Braking Information

Y our power chair is equipped with two powerful brake systems:

! Regenerative — uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the joystick returns to the center/stop position. ! Disc Park Brake — activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power is

removed from the system for any reason.

Cornering Information

While your power chair is equipped with caster wheels and anti-tip wheels, excessively high cornering speeds can still create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to: cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning), and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your power chair from tipping.

WARNING! When cor nering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of gravity. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

BA TTERIES AND CHARGING

Y our power chair uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable. Automotive batteries are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge, and also are unsafe for use in power chairs.

MANDA TOR Y! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling.

PROHIBITED! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, c hemistry, and amphour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in the manu al supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.

WARNING! Contact your authorized Pride Provider if you have any questions regarding the batteries in your power chair.

Charging the Batteries

The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your power chair batteries. It is designed to optimize your power chair’ s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily . The battery charging system consists of the onboard battery charger, the char ger circuit fuse, and the ammeter . The ammeter indicates the rate of charge necessary to fully recharge the batteries. It is also a good indication of whether or not the charger is working. The ammeter and the charger are only functional when the charger power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. The charger circuit has an A TO fuse that protects the ammeter. See figure 8.

PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessar y, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access.

PROHIBITED! Never use an e xtension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the c harger directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.

MANDATORY! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.

PROHIBITED! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the power chair while the batteries are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the power chair is occupied.

WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the power chair and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.

WARNING! You must recharge your po wer chair’ s batteries with the supplied onboard or optional off-board battery charger. Do not use an automotiv e-type battery charger.

WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.

WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger does not appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

WARNING! If the batter y charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to insert objects through these slots.

Jazzy 1 143 Ultra www .pridemobility.com 35

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.

T o charge the batteries using the onboard charger:

1. Position the rear of your power chair close to a standard electrical outlet.

2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the engaged position. See III. “Y our Power Chair.”

3. Plug the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle on the power base, then into the electrical outlet.

NOTE: The power chair incorporates an inhibit function that disables the power chair when the charger is plugged into an electrical outlet.

4. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle slowly drops to 0.

NOTE: The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute for the charger to warm up. The ammeter may move as high as 5.5 amps, then gradually move back down to 0 amps as the batteries charge.

5. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or about the 0 mark on the ammeter. Disconnect the char ger power cord, wind up the cord, and store it in a safe place.

T o charge the batteries using the optional off-board charger:

1. Position the front of your power chair next to a standard electrical outlet.

2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the engaged position. See III. “Y our Power Chair.”

3. Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger/programming socket on the controller.

4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet.

NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are two lights in it. The red light indicates that power to the off-board charger is on. The green light indicates that the batteries are fully charged. If it is not a Pride offboard charger, then follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.

5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger from the electrical outlet and then from the controller .

Battery Break-in

T o break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:

1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance level.

2. Operate your power chair throughout the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and do not travel too far until you become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.

3. Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your power chair again. The batteries will now perform at over 90% of their potential.

4. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How does the charger work?

The battery charger takes the standard electrical outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC (direct current). The power chair batteries use direct current to run your power chair . When the battery voltage is low , the charger works harder to charge the battery . As the battery voltage approaches full charge, the charger doesn’ t work as hard to complete the charging cycle. This explains why the ammeter drops as it approaches a full charge. When the battery is fully charged, the amperage from the charger is nearly at zero. This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not overcharge the battery .

Can I use a different battery charger?

Y ou should use the charger supplied with the power chair . It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. W e do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger).

NOTE: Your power chair’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, call your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.

How often must I charge the batteries?

Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power chair all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.

! Daily Use

If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your power chair . Y our power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’ s service. It is recommended that you charge the batteries 8 to 14 hours after daily use.

! Infrequent Use

If you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per week for 12 to 14 hours.

NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle.

How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?

Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or curves. More often you are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of these factors will affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per charge:

! Always charge the batteries fully prior to your trip. ! Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible. ! Limit baggage weight to essential items. ! Try to maintain an even speed and avoid stop-and-go driving.

What type of batteries should I use?

W e recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Refer to the Specifications T able for more information regarding the batteries used with your power chair.

Jazzy 1 143 Ultra www .pridemobility.com 37

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING

WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.

Why do my new batteries seem weak?

Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. AGM and Gel-Cell batteries should be charged as often as possible. They do not have a “memory” like nickel-cadmium batteries.

W e work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s specific demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encounter temperature extremes that may influence initial performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery , and cold slows the power available and extends the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).

It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient temperature. More importantly , it will take a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain— then a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to the battery’ s peak performance and long life. It will be well worth it to take the time to break in your battery properly .

NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.

How can I ensure maximum battery life?

A fully char ged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your power chair’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable power chair operation and limited battery life.

How should I store my power chair and its batteries?

If you do not use your power chair regularly , we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least once per week.

If you do not plan on using your power chair for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect the battery harnesses and store the power chair in a warm, dry environment. Avoid temperature extremes, such as freezing and excessively hot conditions, and never attempt to charge a frozen battery . A cold or frozen battery should be warmed for several days prior to recharging.

What about public transportation?

AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and other mobility vehicles. These batteries are Federal Aviation Administration (F AA) approved, allowing safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains, as there is no danger of spillage or leakage. W e suggest you contact the carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier’s specific requirements.

What about shipping?

If you wish to use a freight company to ship your power chair to your final destination, repack your power chair in the original shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes.

VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Y our Jazzy 1 143 Ultra is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. Y ou can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your authorized Pride Provider . Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your power chair gives you years of trouble free operation. If you have any doubt as to your power chair’s care or operation, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

WARNING! Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied.

Y our power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. A void damp areas of any kind.

WARNING! Direct or prolonged exposure to water or dampness could cause the power chair to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical components to corrode and the chair’s frame to rust. Power chairs should be examined periodically for signs of corrosion cause by water exposure, bodily fluids exposure, or incontinence. Damaged components should be replaced or treated immediately .

Should your power chair come in contact with water:

1. Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a towel.

2. Allow your power chair to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.

3. Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your power chair again.

4. If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to your authorized Pride Provider. Power chairs that are frequently exposed to sources of water, such as incontinence, should be inspected often for corrosion and electronic components may need to be replaced frequently .

Temperature

! Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your power

chair between the temperatures of 18° F (-8°C) and 122° F (50°C).

! In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze depends on a

number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g., AGM or Gel-Cell).

! T emperatures above 122° F (50°C) may cause your power chair to operate at a reduced speed. This reduced speed

is a safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical components.

General Guidelines

! A void knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick. ! A void prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture. ! Keep the controller clean. ! Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly. ! Make sure the drive tires are inflated to 35 psi (2.4 bar).

WARNING! Make sure your tires are inflated to 35 psi (2.4 bar). Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Overinflating tires can cause them to explode.

WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires.

! Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them.

WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the tires slippery and cause your power c hair to skid.

VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE

! All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication. ! The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. Y ou can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain

its high-gloss appearance.

! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery

boxes and battery well frame with the battery terminals facing inward toward each other. Refer to the battery wiring label for the correct wiring layout.

WARNING! Even though the power chair has passed the necessary testing requirements for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness, including direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical components frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.

Daily Checks

! With the controller turned of f, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the neutral

position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. V isually inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.

! V isually inspect the controller cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed. See your authorized

Pride Provider if there is a problem.

! Check for flat spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability .

Weekly Checks

! Disconnect and inspect the controller from the power pod. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if

necessary .

! Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws. ! Check for proper tire inflation. There should be 35 psi (2.4 bar) in each tire. If a tire does not hold air , see an authorized Pride
