ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Your Jet 10 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 your 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 10 gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your Jet 10’s care or operation, contact your authorized Pride provider.

CAUTION! Your power chair, 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 power chair to malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical compo- nents to corrode and the power chair’s frame to rust.

Should your Jet 10 come in contact with water:

1.Dry your Jet 10 as much as possible with a dry towel.

2.Allow your Jet 10 to sit in a warm dry place for twelve hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.

3.Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your Jet 10 again.

4.If any inconsistencies are found, take your Jet 10 to your authorized Pride provider.

TEMPERATURE

Some of the parts of your Jet 10 are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your Jet 10 between the temperatures of 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 10 to operate at a reduced speed. This is a safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical components. See VIII. “Opera- tion.”

GENERAL GUIDELINES

νAvoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.

νAvoid prolonged exposure of your Jet 10 to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture.

νKeep the controller clean.

νCheck all controller connectors on the utility tray to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly. See figures 9 an d 10. Also check the charger harness connector.

νWhen the battery condition meter is completely lit, the batteries are fully charged and the controller and the electrical system are OK.

νIf two red LEDs on the battery condition meter are blinking slowly, the batteries are low and need to be charged, but the controller and the electrical system are OK.

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.
