SAFETY
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 the user become accustomed to operating the 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. Unauthorized modifications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair .
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 VIII. “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.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair . 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 result in personal injury and/or property damage.
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, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your power chair .
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 and/or personal injury.
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. See VII. “Operation.”
! 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 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 travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! When on any sor t of an incline or decline, never place the power chair in freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it. Doing so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair .
WARNING! Never trav el down an incline backward. This may result in personal injury.

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 , resulting in personal injury and/ or damage to 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%) may put your power chair in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury .
5 (8.7%)
Figure 1. Maximum Safe Slope (Ascending and Descending)
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 rear caster wheels and front 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 cornering sharply, reduce your speed. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. T o avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.
Outdoor Driving Surfaces
Y our power chair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry , level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your power chair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your power chair safely on lawns and in park areas.
! Reduce your power chair’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces. ! A void tall grass that can entangle the running gear . ! A void loosely packed gravel and sand. ! If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

II. SAFETY
Freewheel Mode
Y our power chair is equipped with a manual freewheel system 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. Personal injury may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your power chair in freewheel mode while seated on it. Personal injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.
WARNING! Do not place your power chair in freewheel mode while on an incline. The chair could roll uncontrollably on its own, causing personal injury.
Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.)
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.). The correct method for approaching a curb is illustrated in figure 2.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair climb or descend an obstacle that is higher than 2 inches unless you have the assistance of an attendant.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair proceed backward down any step, curb, or other obstacle. This may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury .

II. SAFETY
Transfers
Transferring onto and off of your power chair requires a good sense of balance. Always have an attendant or healthcare professional present while learning to properly transfer yourself.
T o eliminate the possibility of injury, Pride recommends that you or a trained attendant perform the following tasks before attempt­ing a transfer:
! T urn off the power to the controller See VII. “Operation.” ! Ensure your power chair is not in freewheel mode. See III.
“Y our Power Chair.”
! T urn both caster wheels toward the transfer destination to
improve power chair stability during transfer.
! Make sure both armrests are flipped up or removed from
your power chair.
! Flip up the foot platform or move the leg rests aside; this will
help to keep your feet from getting caught on the foot rigging during the transfer .
! Reduce the distance between your power chair andthe ob-
ject you are transferring onto.
WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the power chair seat to prevent the power chair from tipping forward during transfer and causing injury.
Figure 4. Ideal T ransfer P osition
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury .
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the foot riggings. Such use may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury .
Elevators
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s). ! If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the
rubber door edge to contact the power chair and the door will reopen.
! Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or power chair accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.

It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial operation or after transporting your power chair. Most seats are attached to the power base with the Universal Mounting System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal parts that may be attached to any medium-back or high-back seat, regardless of seat width or seat depth. The two main components are aluminum extrusions mounted to the seat base. These extrusions attach to a set of trapeze bars that are mounted to the power base (see figure 12).
WARNING! Do not pick up the seat frame by the armrests. They are free to pivot, and you may lose control of the seat if they do so, resulting in personal injury or damage to the chair.
NOTE: Prior to initial installation, the rear seat in­terface needs to be installed to the seat base.

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
BA TTERIES AND CHARGING
Y our Pride 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.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not use batteries that exceed the recommended type and amp-hour capacity. Do not use ba tteries with different amp-hour capacities. Refer to specifications table in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
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.
PROHIBITED! Removal of gr ounding prong can cr eate electrical hazard. If necessar y, properly install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access. Failure to heed could result in personal injury and/or property damage.
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.
WARNING! You must recharge your power chair’s ba tteries with the supplied charger . Do not use an automotive-type battery charger .
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Read the battery charging instr uctions in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger before charging the batteries.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not expose the off-board battery charger to rain or other sources of moisture unless it has been tested for outdoor use. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the po wer chair and ba ttery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide adequate ventilation when charging the batteries.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Inspect the battery charge r, wiring, and connectors for damage before each use. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the batter y charger does not appear to be working cor rectly, contact your authorized Pride Provider .
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! If the off-board battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to insert objects through these slots.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the power chair while the batteries are charging.
WARNING! Prevent injury and/or equipment damage! If your off-board 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.

The green light indicates that the batteries are fully charged. If it is not a Pride off-board 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.
Figure 27. Battery Bo xes (Removed fr om Power Base)
OFF-BOARD CHARGER PORT
NOTE: You can remove both battery boxes from the power base and charge them using the off-board charger port located on the front battery box. The battery boxes must be connected in order to charge them. See figure 27.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How does the charger work?
The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage (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 char ger works harder to charge the battery . As the battery voltage approaches full char ge, the charger doesn’t work as hard to complete the charging cycle. 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.
Jazzy 1 107 www.pridemobility.com 31

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
How often must I charge the batteries?
Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. Y ou 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 table for more battery information.
WARNING! Corr osive 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).
32 www.pridemobility .com Jazzy 1107
Page 33
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
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 “char ging 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 charged 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 A viation 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.

FLIGHT CONTROLLER
The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair . It takes the battery voltage and sends it to the appropriate system. The electronic controller enables you to move the power chair , as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system. The FLIGHT is part of a modular electronic controller system. The system consists of more than one module. T ypically , the FLIGHT is mounted to one of the armrests. See figure 28. It is connected to a power module located on the power base through the controller communications cable. The FLIGHT may be used to control some optional systems, such as lights.
The controller supplied with your power chair has been pre-programmed to meet your needs. The program is set using either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held programmer, also provided by the controller manufacturer.
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, and braking. If it is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits as determined by your healthcare professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manufacturer, an authorized representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service technician should program the controller.
The FLIGHT consists of:
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. off-board charger/programming socket
4. controller connector
5. controller power module
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair . When you move the joystick from the neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The far­ther you push the joystick from its neutral position, the faster your power chair moves. When you release the joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic brakes. This causes your power chair to decelerate and come to a com­plete stop.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.
Keypad
The keypad is located in front of the joystick. It con­tains keys necessary to operate your power chair . See figure 29.

VII. OPERATION
VSI ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER
The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. The electronic controller enables you to move the power chair, as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system. The VSI electronic controller is an integral electronic controller . All of the electronics necessary to operate the power chair are contained in one module. See figure 30. T ypically , the VSI is mounted to one of the armrests and is connected to the motors and batteries at the power base.
The controller supplied with your power chair has been pre-programmed to meet your needs. The program is set using either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held programmer, also provided by the controller manufacturer.
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, and braking. If it is programmed incor rectly or outside of the safe limits as determined by your healthcare professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manufacturer, an authorized representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service technician should program the controller.
The VSI consists of:
1. joystick
2. keypad
3. off-board charger/programming socket
4. actuator connector (optional)
5. controller connector
Joystick
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you move the joystick from the neutral (center) position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The farther you push the joystick from its neutral position, the faster your power chair moves. When you release the joystick and allow it to return to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic brakes. This causes your power chair to decelerate and come to a complete stop.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.
Keypad
The keypad is located in front of the joystick. It contains keys necessary to operate your power chair. See figure 31.

Page 40
VII. OPERATION
WARNING! Failure to properly align the connectors can result in damage to the VSI, the charger, and the connectors.
Thermal Rollback
The VSI controller is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. This circuit monitors the temperature of the controller , which roughly translates to motor temperature. In the event that the VSI controller becomes excessively hot (above 140° F), motor current (amperage) is reduced. For every degree above 131° F, the motor current limit is reduced by .55 amps . This reduces your power chair’s “power ,” which could also reduce your power chair’s speed . Once the VSI controller reaches 158° F , the current output is reduced to zero and your power chair will stop. This allows the electrical components and motors to cool down. When the temperature returns to a safe level, your power chair resumes its normal operation.
VSI Error Codes
The VSI controller is designed with the user’s safety as the prime consideration. It incorporates many sophisticated self­test features which search for potential problems at a rate of 100 times per second. If the VSI detects a problem either in its own circuits or in the power chair’s electrical system, it may stop the power chair, depending on the severity of the problem. The VSI is designed to maximize the user’s safety under all normal conditions. The table below identifies the individual error codes. Error codes are displayed as a rapid flashing of the battery condition meter lights. If you get one of these error codes, contact your authorized Pride Provider.
