νAll wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
DAILY CHECKS
νWith the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the 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 Pride provider if there is a problem with any of these harnesses.
WEEKLY CHECKS

νEnsure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your Jazzy. Do not overtighten any screws.
νCheck for proper tire inflation. There should be 30 – 35 psi in each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see your Pride provider for replacement of the tube.
νCalibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate properly.
νCheck the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance around your Jazzy.
To check the brakes:
1.Turn on the controller and turn down the speed response adjustment knob.
2.After one second, check the battery gauge. Make sure that it remains on.
3.Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joy- stick. You must be able to hear each electrical brake operating by a “clicking” sound within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backwards, then left, and then right.
