νThe body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance.

νCheck all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within

the battery well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame decal for the correct wiring layout.

νAll wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.

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

WARNING! Make sure your tires are inflated to 30-35 psi. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Serious personal injury may result. Overinflating tires can cause them to explode and can result in personal injury.

WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires.

DAILY CHECKS

νWith the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to center when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride provider if there is a problem.

νVisually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed or cut or have any wires exposed. See your authorized Pride provider if there is a problem with any of these harnesses.

WEEKLY CHECKS

νDisconnect and inspect the controller and the charger harnesses from the utility tray. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorized Pride provider if necessary.

νEnsure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your Jet 2. Do not overtighten any screws.

νCalibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate properly. To calibrate the joystick, power off the unit, place the joystick in neutral position, and power the unit back on. If a problem still exists with your joystick’s performance, contact your authorized Pride provider.

νCheck the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance around your Jet 2.

νCheck for proper tire inflation. There should be 30 – 35 psi in each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see an authorized Pride provider for replacement.

To check the brakes:

1.Turn on the controller and turn down the speed and response adjustment knob.

2.After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.

3.Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick.You must be able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backward, then left, and then right.

MONTHLY CHECKS

νCheck that the anti-tip wheels are not rubbing the ground when you are operating the Jet 2. Adjust them as necessary. See VI. “ComfortAdjustments.”

νCheck for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
