ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Your Jet 1 is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from an 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 Jet 1 gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your Jet 1’s care or operation, contact your authorized Pride provider.

CAUTION! Direct 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.

Should your Jet 1 come in contact with water:

1.Dry your Jet 1 as much as possible with a dry towel.

2.Allow your Jet 1 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 Jet 1 again.

4.If any inconsistencies are found, take your Jet 1 to an authorized Pride provider.

TEMPERATURE

Some of the parts of your Jet 1 are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your Jet 1 in an environment that is between 18° F and 122° F.

νIn extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they will freeze depends on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g., sealed lead-acid or gel cell).

νTemperatures above 122° F may cause your Jet 1 to operate at a reduced speed. This is a safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and to other electrical components. See VIII. “Operation.”

GENERAL GUIDELINES

νAvoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.

νAvoid prolonged exposure of your Jet 1 to extreme conditions, such

as heat, cold, or moisture. ν Keep the controller clean.

ν Check all controller connectors on the utility tray to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly. Also check the charger harness connector.

νWhen the battery indicator gauge is completely lit, the batteries are

fully charged, and the controller and the electrical system are OK. ν If two red LEDs on the battery indicator gauge are blinking slowly,

the batteries are low and need to be charged, but the controller and the electrical system are OK.

ν If the battery condition meter is blinking rapidly, the controller has detected a fault in either its own circuits or in your Jet 1’s circuits. See VIII. “Operation.”

νMake sure the drive tires are inflated to 30–35 psi. See figure 26.
