III. YOUR POWER CHAIR REAR SHROUD FASTENERS POWER SEAT ACTUATOR YELLOW FASTENER (LOCATED UNDER FRONT SHROUD) ARTICULATING BEAM MOTOR/BRAKE ASSEMBLY Figure 6. The Jazzy 1103 Ultra Power Base ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS The electrical components are located on the power base. The ammeter and the charger power cord receptacle are located on the right side of the power base. The main circuit breaker is located on the front of the battery tray.
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 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 Your power chair has a manual freewheel lever on each motor. Manual freewheel levers enable you to disengage the drive motors from the gearboxes and maneuver the chair manually. WARNING! Do not use the power chair while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not disengage the drive motors when the power chair is on an incline, as the unit could roll on its own. Only engage the freewheel mode when on a level surface.
I V. 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.

I V. 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 medium-back 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 information provided in separate manuals.

If you plan on using your power chair on rough surfaces, it may be necessary to adjust the anti-tip wheels to better suit your needs. The anti-tip wheels may need adjustment if the following occurs: ! When coming to a stop, your power chair tips forward excessively.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS Power Elevating Seat System (Standard) The power elevating seat system is equipped with a power elevating seat actuator that enables you to raise and lower the seat automatically.

See figure 26. ADJUSTMENTS TOGGLE SWITCH NOTE: For information on how to raise and lower your seat through the controller, contact your authorized Pride Provider. To operate the power elevating seat: 1. Bring your power chair to a complete stop. 2.
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 WARNING! If your off-board battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information. To charge the batteries using the onboard charger: 1.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How does the charger work? The battery charger takes the standard electrical outlet voltage (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC (direct current). The power chair batteries use direct current to run your power chair. When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the battery. As the battery voltage approaches full charge, the charger does not work as hard to complete the charging cycle.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Why do my new batteries seem weak? Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge. AGM and Gel-Cell batteries should be charged as often as possible. They do not have a “memory” like nickel-cadmium batteries.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Jazzy 1103 Ultra 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 Yearly Checks Take your power chair to your authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power chair on a regular basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications. 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.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut and washer, then remove the wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode. Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for both pneumatic and solid tires: 1. Turn off the power to the controller. 2. Set the power chair up on blocks. 3. If you are changing a pneumatic tire, completely deflate it before removing the wheel. 4.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting beyond your capacity. WARNING! Do not mix or match new and old batteries. If you encounter a situation where one battery needs to be replaced, then replace both batteries.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE BATTERY CONNECTOR QUICK DISCONNECT THERMAL FUSES BATTERY WIRING DIAGRAM Figure 29.
