III. YOUR POWER CHAIR THE JAZZY 614 SERIES Your power chair has two main assemblies: the seat assembly and the power base assembly. See figure 5. Typically, the seat assembly includes the armrests, seatback, and seat base. The power base assembly includes two motor/ brake assemblies, two drive wheels, four caster wheels, two batteries, and wiring harnesses. See figures 5, 6, and 7.
III. YOUR POWER CHAIR TRAPEZE BARS FRONT COVER Figure 6. The Jazzy 614 Series Power Base Electrical components The electrical components are located on or inside the power base. The main circuit breaker is located on the front of the power base. The power module is located inside the power base. See figure 7. Motor Connectors: This is where the controller connects to the motors. Battery Connector: This is where the controller connects to the batteries.
III. YOUR POWER CHAIR Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your power chair. When the batteries and the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent damage to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit breaker trips, allow your power chair to “rest” for approximately one minute. Next, push in the circuit breaker button, turn on the controller, and continue normal operation.
III. YOUR POWER CHAIR Manual Freewheel Levers For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers mounted on the motors. These levers allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually. You can manually push the power chair by the seatback.
IV. ASSEMBLY INITIAL ASSEMBLY Your power chair may require some assembly either before initial use or after transportation. It may also require disassembly to make some comfort adjustments. Figure 10 details those parts of the power chair that are designed to be disassembled and assembled by an end user or by a qualified caregiver before using the product or making comfort adjustments.
IV. ASSEMBLY Seat Installation It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial operation or after transporting your power chair. Most seats are attached to the power base with the Universal Mounting System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal parts that may be attached to any mediumback or high-back seat, regardless of seat width or seat depth. The two main components are aluminum extrusions mounted to the seat base.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS After becoming familiar with your power chair’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your comfort, such as seat height and angle, armrest angle, foot platform height and angle, and controller position. NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Synergy Seat or TRU-Balance Power Positioning System, refer to the seat adjustment information contained in separate manuals.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS 10. Reinstall the retaining clips from step 8. 11. Remove each screw from the trapeze bars and apply thread lock. 12. Reinstall each screw into the trapeze bars and tighten. 13. Tighten the setscrew in each seat tower. See figure 14. 14. Reinstall the seat. 15. Lift the armrest straight up, then route the controller harness so that it can not be pinched in the seat hinge. See figure 11. 16. Reconnect the controller to the power base. 17.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS Seatback Angle Adjustment If your power chair is equipped with an adjustable seatback, you can adjust it to four (4) different angles: 90°, 102°, 105°, or 107°. To adjust the seatback angle: 1. Remove the adjusting screws from each seat hinge. See figure 16. 2. Set the seatback at the desired angle. 3.

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your power chair uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING To charge the batteries using the off-board charger: 1. Position the front of your power chair next to a standard electrical outlet. 2. Be certain the controller power is turned off. 3. Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger/programming socket on the controller. See figure 20. 4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How often must I charge the batteries? Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power chair all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time. Daily Use If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your power chair. Your power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How can I ensure maximum battery life? A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your power chair’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable power chair operation and limited battery life.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Jazzy 614 Series 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 your 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 power chair gives you years of trouble-free operation.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication. The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance. Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery tray, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Storage Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries from the power chair. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.” WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged.
