Your Jazzy 1400 is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase your mobility. There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where you will need to practice operating your Jazzy 1400 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 1400 is a motorized vehicle. When you are seated on your Jazzy 1400 and you anticipate that you are going to be in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power. This eliminates the possibility of unexpected chair movement and conserves battery power.

TRANSFERS

Transferring onto and off of your Jazzy 1400 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:

￿Be sure the power is turned off. See VIII. “Operation” in this manual.

￿Be sure your Jazzy 1400 is not in freewheel mode. See IV. “The Jazzy 1400” in this manual.

￿Make sure the armrests are flipped up or removed from your Jazzy.

￿Flip the footrest up, or move the leg rests aside; this will help to keep your feet from “hanging up” 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 and cause injury.

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

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.

￿In an effort to improve the safety of its units during motor vehicle transport, Pride has crash-tested numerous Jazzy models. However, since there are unlimited variations of the Jazzy product, all variations could not possibly be tested. Therefore, Pride recommends that Jazzy power chair users should not be transported in vehicles of any kind while in power chairs. 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.

￿Always be sure your Jazzy 1400 is properly secured when it is being transported.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your Jazzy 1400 is rated for a maximum 180 kg (400 lbs.) weight limit. Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury.

PUBLIC ROADS AND PARKING LOTS

It may be difficult for motorists to see you when you are seated on your Jazzy 1400. To ensure your safety, always assume you cannot be seen. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.
