II. SAFETY
Your Jazzy 1120
is a state-of-the-art, life-enhancement device designed to increase your mobility. There are
2000
certain situations, including some medical conditions, where you will need to practice operating your Jazzy in the
presence of an attendant. Below are some safety tips that are designed to help you become accustomed to operating your new Jazzy safely.
WARNING! Your Jazzy is a motorized vehicle. When you are seated in your Jazzy and you
anticipate that you are going to be in a stationary position for an extended period of time,
turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected chair movement from inadvertent contact between the end user and joystick.
TRANSFERS
Transferring onto and off of your Jazzy 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:
n Be sure the power is turned off. See VIII. Operation.
n Be sure your Jazzy is not in freewheel mode. See IV. The Jazzy 1120
2000
.
n Make sure the armrests are flipped up or removed from your Jazzy.
n Flip the footrest up or move the leg rests aside; this helps to keep your feet from getting caught on the footrest
or on the leg rests during the transfer.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. This may cause the Jazzy to
tip which may result in injury.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
As of this date, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport
a user while in a power chair.
WARNING! Always be sure your Jazzy power chair is properly secured when it is being transported.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Jazzy.
WARNING! Pride does not recommend power chair users to be transported in vehicles while
seated in their power chairs. Personal injury may result.
Although 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. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured
into his/her seat with seat belts approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Jazzy 1120
is rated for a maximum 300-lb. weight limit.
2000
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury.
6Jazzy 1120
2000
II. SAFETY
PUBLIC ROADS AND PARKING LOTS
It may be difficult for motorists to see you when you are seated on your Jazzy. To ensure your safety, always
assume you cannot be seen. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.
NOTE: Many municipalities have laws concerning operating your powered wheelchair on public roads. Be
sure to check local laws before attempting to do so.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Wheelchairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! If you try to negotiate steps or escalators, you can cause injur y to yourself and to
others.
STEPS AND CURBS
WARNING! Never attempt to have your Jazzy climb or descend a step or a curb that is higher than
four (4) inches.
WARNING! Never attempt to have your Jazzy proceed backwards down any step, curb, or other
obstacle. Doing so could cause your Jazzy to tip.
INCLINES AND UNEVEN TERRAIN
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.
Always drive your Jazzy straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! Never travel up or down an incline that can be potentially hazardous (for example,
areas covered with snow, ice, or cut grass).
When climbing an incline, try to keep your Jazzy moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then
accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so slowly and in the forward direction only. If your Jazzy
starts to move faster than you anticipated or desired it would, allow the chair to come to a complete stop by
releasing the joystick. Push the joystick slightly forward and continue traveling slowly down the incline.
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE
Pride has performed extensive incline testing with the Jazzy. Our results show that the maximum incline your Jazzy
can safely climb is five degrees at maximum weight capacity. Five degrees is the angle of most handicap access
ramps. Any attempt to climb a steeper slope may put your Jazzy in an unstable position.

III. EMI/RFI
Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause
unintended motion of powered wheelchairs. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When this
energy adversely affects the operation of an electronic device, it is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
WARNING! Radio waves may interfere with the control of powered wheelchairs.
EMI/RFIFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
The following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this information to minimize the risk
that EMI/RFI will affect your powered wheelchair.
Where do radio waves come from?
Radio waves are emitted from the antennas of cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies),
radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave sources, and
paging transmitters. Radio waves are a form of EM. Because electromagnetic energy is more intense closer to the
transmitting antenna (source of emission), the EM fields from two-way radios are of special concern to powered
wheelchair users.
If my powered wheelchair is affected by EMI/RFI, what kind of motion should I expect?
This is hard to predict. It would depend on a number of factors:
n Strength of the radio waves
n Construction of the powered wheelchair
n Position of the powered wheelchair (whether it is on level ground or on an incline)
n Whether or not the powered wheelchair is in motion
An affected wheelchairs movement can be erratic. It may move by itself or come to a sudden stop. Furthermore,
it is possible for EMI/RFI to unexpectedly release the brakes on a powered wheelchair. Some intense sources of
EMI/RFI can even damage the control system of your Jazzy.
Is there any way to know for sure whether radio waves are responsible for the unintended motion
of my powered wheelchair?
Unfortunately, interference from radio wave sources may be difficult to recognize, since the signals from these
sources are invisible and may be intermittent. However, the FDA recommends that you report all incidents of
unintended motion or brake release to the powered wheelchair manufacturer and, if possible, note whether there
was a radio wave source nearby at the time of the incident.
Has anyone been hurt from erratic, unintended motion of powered wheelchairs?
The FDA has reports of injuries that resulted from the apparent uncontrolled motion of powered wheelchairs.
However, it is unclear how many of these incidents were actually caused by radio wave interference.
8Jazzy 1120
2000
III. EMI/RFI
Are all powered wheelchairs susceptible to EMI/RFI?
Each make and model of chair differs in its ability to resist electromagnetic interference. That is, each has a
particular level of immunity to interference, measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher immunity level offers
greater protection. In other words, a powered wheelchair with a high immunity level is less likely to be affected by
a strong radio source than one with a low immunity level.
What is the FDA doing about the problem?
The FDA has written powered wheelchair manufacturers and requested that they test their new products to be sure
that they provide a reasonable degree of immunity against EMI/RFI. The letter states that powered wheelchairs
should have an immunity of at least 20 V/m. This provides a reasonable degree of protection against the common
sources of EMI/RFI.
The FDA has also requested that these manufacturers clearly label their products with the immunity level, or state
that the immunity level is not known. The labeling and informational material supplied with the powered wheelchair
must explain what the immunity level means, and the labeling or informational material must warn users about the
possibility of EMI/RFI and how to avoid it. In addition, the FDA has recommended that manufacturers establish an
educational program to inform powered wheelchair users and their caregivers about the problems associated with
EMI/RFI, and the actions they can take to minimize the risk. The FDA requested that powered wheelchair
manufacturers have these actions implemented by December 2, 1994.
What can I do to find out if my powered wheelchair is likely to be affected by EMI/RFI?
If youve had your powered wheelchair for a long time and havent experienced any unintended motion, it is not
likely that you will have problems in the future. But it is always possible that problems could arise if you are close
to a source of radio waves. Therefore, it is very important to be alert to this possibility. The Jazzy meets or exceeds
an immunity level of at least 20 V/m.
What can I do to reduce the risk that my powered wheelchair could be affected by EMI/RFI?
Here are some precautions you can take:
n Do not turn on or use hand-held personal communications devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios and
cellular phones, while the powered wheelchair is on.
n Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two-way radios, and try
not to come close to them. For example, if you are in a powered wheelchair with an immunity level of 20 V/m, you
should remain at least three feet from a hand-held two-way radio and ten feet from a mobile two-way radio.
n Be aware that adding accessories and/or components, or modifying the powered wheelchair, may make it
more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources. There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the
overall immunity of the powered wheelchair.
What should I do if my powered wheelchair moves unexpectedly?
If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair off as soon as it is safe to do so.
If my powered wheelchair moves unexpectedly, where should I report this?
Call Pride at 800-800-8586 to report the incident.

UTILITY TRAY
The utility tray is located on the rear of your Jazzy. The utility tray is located underneath the rear sliding door. The
utility tray consists of the ammeter, the battery charger plug, the main circuit breaker, accessory connector (optional equipment), and the controller harness connectors. See figure 6.
n Ammeter: The ammeter displays the chargers current output in amps. See figure 6. For more information,
see IX. Batteries and Charging in this manual.
n Battery Charger Plug: This plug is used whenever your battery needs recharging. See figure 6.
n Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your Jazzy. See figure 6. When
the batteries and the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to
prevent damage to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow your Jazzy to rest for approximately one minute. Next, push in the circuit breaker button, turn on the joystick controller, and continue normal
operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized Pride provider.
n Accessory Connector (Optional): This is where the optional harness connects to the controller (power seat,
lighting).
n Controller Harness Connectors: This is where the joystick connects to the motors, batteries, and charger.
If your Jazzy is equipped with a Remote Plus or Europa controller, there is only one connector on the tray. If
your Jazzy is equipped with a Pilot controller, there are two connectors on the tray. See figures 3 through 5 to
view the controller harness connectors.
n Power Seat Connector (Optional): This is for the optional power seat switch. See figure 6.

FREEWHEEL LEVER
For your convenience, your Jazzy is equipped with a freewheel lever. See figures 7 and 8. This lever allows you to
disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use your Jazzy while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in
the presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your Jazzy is on an
incline. The chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
To disengage the drive and place chair in freewheel:
1. Move the safety latch up. See figure 7.
2. Pull the freewheel lever up.
To engage the drive and take chair out of freewheel:
n Push the freewheel lever down. See figure 8.
CAUTION! It is important to remember that when your Jazzy is in freewheel mode, the
braking system is disengaged.
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your Jazzy back and forth slightly. The lever should then move
to the desired position.

IV. THE JAZZY 1120
2000
ACTIVE-TRAC SYSTEM
Your Jazzy is equipped with an Active-Trac System (ATS). ATS is a suspension system designed to make your
Jazzy traverse different types of terrain and obstacles while maintaining smooth operation. With ATS, your front
anti-tip wheels work in conjunction with your motor suspension to help you maneuver over obstacles.
As your front anti-tip wheels come in contact with an obstacle, the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn upward.
At the same time, your motors are forced downward. This allows the motors to push the Jazzy over an obstacle
and limits the possibility of your power chair becoming hung up on the obstacle.
ATS also helps in day-to-day operating conditions. For instance, when you release the joystick your Jazzy begins
to slow down. As the chair slows down, the front anti-tip wheels will automatically drop toward the ground. This
will reduce the forward tip that is typically encountered with center-wheel drive chairs.
REAR SUSPENSION
Your Jazzy 1120
is equipped with Rear Suspension. See figure 9. This suspension system works in conjunction
2000
with the ATS and is designed to maintain a smooth ride when driving over rough terrain and up and down curbs.
This system works by allowing the caster forks to respond to weight transfers and uneven terrain. The rear caster
wheels will pivot as you drive over obstacles. This system also enhances performance when the front anti-tip wheels
are set lower to the surface.
