νIf the battery condition meter is blinking rapidly, the controller has detected a fault in either its own circuits or in your Jet 10’s circuits. See VIII. “Operation.”
νUse a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them. Check for wear.
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.
νThe body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its
νCheck all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame decal for the correct wiring layout.
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 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 authorized Pride provider if there is a problem with any of these harnesses.
WEEKLY CHECKS
νDisconnect and inspect the controller and the charger harnesses from the utility tray. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorized Pride provider if necessary.
νEnsure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your Jet 10. Do not overtighten any screws.
νCalibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not operate properly. To calibrate the joystick, power off the unit, place the joystick in neutral position, and power the unit back on. If a problem still exists with your joystick’s performance, contact your authorized Pride provider.
νCheck the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance around your Jet 10.
To check the brakes:
1.Turn on the controller and turn down the speed and response adjustment knob.
2.After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3.Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick.You must be able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backward, then left, and then right.
