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 authorized Pride provider.

Your Jazzy, 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 Jazzy come in contact with water:

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

2.Allow your Jazzy 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 to an authorized Pride provider.

TEMPERATURE

Some of the parts of your Jazzy are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your Jazzy between the temperatures of 18° F/-8° C/ and 122° F/50° C.

νIn extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze de- pends 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/50° C may cause your Jazzy 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 compo- nents. See VII. “Operation.”

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 connectors on the electronics tray to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.

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

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

νIf the battery condition meter is blinking rapidly, the controller has detected a fault in either its own circuits or in your Jazzy’s circuits. See VII. “Operation.”

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