II. SAFETY

SAFETY

WARNING! Do not operate your new power chair for the first time without completely

reading and understanding this owners manual.

Your power chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an

extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the power chair user. Please be aware that the final

selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of power chair to be used is the responsibility of the power

chair user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e. medical doctor

physical therapist etc.).

The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the power

chair to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride provider in the

instruction process for the use of the product.

There are certain situations including some medical conditions where the power chair user will need to practice

operating the power chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family

member or care professional specially trained in assisting a power chair user in various daily living activities.

As you begin using your power chair during daily activities you will probably encounter situations in which you will

need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver

through doorways on and off of elevators up and down ramps and over moderate terrain.

Below are some precautions tips and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to

operating the power chair safely.

Modifications

Pride has designed and engineered your power chair to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of

accessories is available from your authorized Pride provider to further customize your power chair to better suit

your needs and/or preferences. However under no circumstances should you modify add remove or disable any

feature part or function of your power chair.

WARNING! Do not modify your power chair in any way not authorized by Pride. Unautho-

rized modifications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.

Pre-Ride Safety Check

Get to know the feel of your power chair and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check

before each use to make sure your power chair operates smoothly and safely. See X. Care and Maintenance.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your power chair:

nCheck for proper tire inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).

nCheck all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.

nCheck all controller connections to the electronics tray. Make sure they are secured properly.

Jet1HD/RevH/Feb03 www.pridemobility.com 7

II. SAFETY

nCheck the brakes. See X. Care and Maintenance.

nCheck battery charge. See IX. Batteries and Charging.

NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your authorized ride provider for assistance.

eight Limitations

Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit.

WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal

injury and/or damage to your power chair. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries

and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.

WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your power chair. Carrying passengers on your

power chair may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

Tire Inflation

If your power chair is equipped with pneumatic tires you should check or have the air pressure checked at least

once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of

your power chair.

WARNING! It is important that 30-35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires at

all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of

control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure in

pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious per-

sonal injury and/or damage to your Jazzy.

WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tires from a regulated air source with an avail-

able pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate

them, resulting in a burst tire and/or personal injury.

Incline Information

More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination designed for easy and safe access.

Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on

your power chair.

nProceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.

nTake wide swings with your power chairs front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that the power

chairs rear wheels will follow a wide arc not cut the corner short and not bump into or get hung up on any

railing corners.

nWhen driving down a ramp keep the power chairs speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to

ensure a safely controlled descent. See VIII. Operation.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

When climbing an incline try to keep your power chair moving. If you must stop start up again slowly and then

accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline set your power chair to the slowest setting and drive in the

forward direction only. If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired

allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick then push the joystick forward slightly to ensure a

safely controlled descent.

II. SAFETY

Fig. 1. Maximum Safe Angle (Ascending and Descending)

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the

incline. Drive your power chair straight up the incline. his greatly reduces the possibility

of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.

WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas

covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).

WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the power chair in

freewheel mode while seated on it or standing next to it. Doing so may result in personal

injury and/or damage to your power chair.

WARNING! Never travel down an incline backwards. his may result in personal injury.

WARNING! Even though your power chair is capable of climbing slopes greater than those illus-

trated in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other

specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your power chair, result-

ing in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 all handicap public access ramps are required to

have a maximum slope of 5°. Therefore Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to

safely ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 5°. See figure 1.

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° may put your power

chair in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.

Braking Information

Your power chair is equipped with two powerful brake systems:

1. Regenerative  uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the joystick returns to the center/stop position.

2. Disc Park Brake  activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop or when

power is removed from the system for any reason.

Cornering Information

While your power chair is equipped with rear caster wheels in back and anti-tip wheels in front excessively high

cornering speeds can still create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include but

are not limited to: cornering speed steering angle (how sharply you are turning) uneven road surfaces inclined

road surfaces riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to

a paved area  especially at high speed while turning) and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are

not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e. lessen

the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your power chair from tipping.

Jet1HD/RevH/Feb03 www.pridemobility.com 9

II. SAFETY

WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. his greatly reduces the possibil-

ity of a tip or fall. o avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always exercise com-

mon sense when cornering.

Outdoor Driving Surfaces

Your power chair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry level surfaces

composed of concrete blacktop or asphalt. However Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will

encounter other surface types. For this reason your power chair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil

grass and gravel. Feel free to use your power chair safely on lawns and in park areas.

nReduce your power chairs speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.

nAvoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.

nAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

nIf you feel unsure about a driving surface avoid that surface.

Freewheel Mode

Your power chair is equipped with a manual freewheel lever to allow for manual maneuverability by a trained

attendant. For more information about how to place your power chair into and out of freewheel mode see IV.

The Jet 1 HD.

WARNING! Do not use your power chair in freewheel mode without an attendant present.

Personal injury may result.

WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your power chair in freewheel mode while

seated on it. Personal injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.

WARNING! Do not place your power chair in freewheel mode while on an incline. he

chair could roll uncontrollably on its own, causing personal injury.

Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.)

Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (curbs

porches stairs etc.). The correct method for approaching a curb is illustrated in figure 2.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair climb or descend an obstacle that is

higher than two inches unless you have the assistance of an attendant.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair proceed backward down any step,

curb, or other obstacle. his may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury.

II. SAFETY

Public Streets and Roadways

WARNING! You should not operate your power chair on public streets and roadways. Be

aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your power

chair. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and

then proceed with extreme caution.

Stairs and Escalators

Power chairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.

WARNING! Never use your power chair to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause

injury to yourself and to others and/or damage your power chair.

Doors

nDetermine if the door opens toward or away from you.

nDrive your power chair gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your power chair gently

and slowly backward to pull the door open.

Elevators

Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that when pushed reopens the elevator door(s).

nIf you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close push on the rubber door edge or

allow the rubber door edge to contact the power chair and the door will reopen.

nUse care that pocketbooks packages or power chair accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.

EMI & RFI

Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause

unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When

EM adversely affects the operation of an electronic device it is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or

Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). For more information see III. EMI/RFI.
