CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your Jet 3 Ultra 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 power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your power chair’s care or operation, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

WARNING! Prevent injury. Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied.

Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements.Avoid damp areas of any kind.

WARNING! 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 power chair come in contact with water:

1.Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a towel.

2.Allow your power chair 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 power chair again.

4.If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to your authorized Pride Provider.

Temperature

!Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your power chair between the temperatures of 18° F and 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., AGM or Gel-Cell).

!Temperatures above 122° F may cause your power chair 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.

General Guidelines

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

!Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture.

!Keep the controller clean.

!Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.

!Make sure the drive tires are inflated to 35 psi (2.4 bar) if equipped with pneumatic tires.

WARNING! 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.

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

WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the tires slippery and cause your power chair to skid.

!The 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.

!Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery tray, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the battery wiring label for the correct wiring layout.
