YEARLY CHECKS

Take your Jazzy to an authorized service provider for yearly maintenance. This helps ensure that your Jazzy is function- ing properly and helps prevent future complications.

STORAGE

Figure 26. Check Tire Pressure

 

Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, discon- nect the batteries from the Jazzy. See IX. “Batteries and Charging” in this manual.

WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION! Never hose off your Jazzy or place it in direct contact with water. Your Jazzy has a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.

CAUTION! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become slippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.

TIRES AND TUBES

If your Jazzy 1105 is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check the air pressure at least once a week. This prolongs the life of your tires and helps ensure the perfect operation of your chair. If you have a flat tire, replace the tube. Replacement tires and tubes are readily available through the provider where you purchased your Jazzy 1105.

WARNING! Make sure the tire is completely deflated before attempting repair.

WARNING! To avoid possible injury, be sure that the controller’s power is turned off and the power chair is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.

Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair:

1.Completely deflate the tire if pneumatic.

2.Use a 3/4-in. socket to remove the drive wheel nut from the center hub of the wheel. See figure 27.

3.Pull the wheel off of the axle.

4.Remove the bolts that hold the wheel halves together.

5.Remove the old tube and/or tire and replace it with a new tube and/or tire.

6.Reassemble the wheel.
