ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Your Jazzy 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 an 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 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.

CAUTION! Your Jazzy, 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 components to corrode and the chair’s frame to rust.

Should your Jazzy 1105 come in contact with water:

1.Dry your Jazzy 1105 as thoroughly as possible with a dry towel.

2.Allow your Jazzy 1105 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 Jazzy again.

4.If any inconsistencies are found, take your Jazzy 1105 to an authorized service center.

TEMPERATURE

Some of the parts of your Jazzy 1105 are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your Jazzy 1105 between the temperatures of 18° F and 122° F.

νIn 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 batter- ies (e.g., sealed lead-acid or gel cell).

νTemperatures above 122° F may cause your Jazzy 1105 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

νAvoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.

νAvoid prolonged exposure of your Jazzy 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 prop- erly. Also check the charger harness connector.

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

νIf 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.

νIf 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.

νMake sure the drive tires are inflated to 30 – 35 psi. See figure 26.

WARNING! 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.
