ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Your Jazzy is a sophisticated power wheelchair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from an authorised Pride provider. Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your Jazzy gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your Jazzy’s care or operation, contact your Pride provider.

Your Jazzy 1400, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. Avoid damp areas of any kind. Direct exposure to water or dampness could cause the wheelchair to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause the electrical components to corrode and the chair’s frame to rust.

Should your Jazzy 1400 come in contact with water:

1.Use a nonabrasive cloth or towel to dry your Jazzy 1400 as thoroughly as possible.

2.Allow your Jazzy 1400 to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.

3.Check the joystick operation and the brake operation before using your Jazzy again.

4.If any inconsistencies are found, take your Jazzy 1400 to an authorised Pride provider.

TEMPERATURE

Some parts of your Jazzy 1400 are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your Jazzy 1400 between the temperatures of -8° C (18° F) and 50° C (122° F).

￿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., Sealed Lead-Acid or Gel Cell).

￿Temperatures above 50° C (122° F) may cause your Jazzy 1400 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. See VIII. “Operation” in this manual.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

￿Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.

￿Avoid prolonged exposure of your Jazzy to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture.

￿Keep the controller clean.

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

￿When the battery indicator gauge is completely lit, the batteries are fully charged and the controller and the electrical system are OK.

￿If one red bar on the battery indicator gauge is blinking slowly, the batteries are low and need to be charged, but the controller and the electrical system are OK.

￿If the battery indicator gauge is blinking rapidly, the controller has detected a fault in either its own circuits or in your Jazzy’s circuits. See VIII. “Operation” in this manual.

￿Make sure the drive tyres are inflated to 30–35 psi. See figure 39.

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