I I . S A F E T Y 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.
I I . S A F E T Y 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.
I I . S A F E T Y Figure 2. Curb Approach (Correct and Incorrect) 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. This may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury. Public Streets and Roadways WARNING! You should not operate your power chair on public streets and roadways.
I I . S A F E T Y Elevators Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s). n If 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. n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or power chair accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
I I . S A F E T Y Positioning Belts Your authorized Pride provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your power chair safely. WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your power chair, make sure it is fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the power chair. WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle.
I I . S A F E T Y WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling. WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery. Preventing Unintended movement WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power.
I I I . E M I / R F I Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause unintended motion of power chairs. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When this energy adversely affects the operation of an electronic device, it is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). WARNING! Radio waves may interfere with the control of power chairs.
I I I . E M I / R F I offers greater protection. In other words, a power chair with a high immunity level is less likely to be affected by a strong radio source than one with a low immunity level. What is the FDA doing about the problem? The FDA has written power chair manufacturers and requested that they test their new products to be sure that they provide a reasonable degree of immunity against EMI/RFI. The letter states that power chairs should have an immunity of at least 20 V/m.

Thermal Rollback The Pilot controller is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit. This circuit monitors the temperature of the motors and the controller.
I X . BAT T E R I E S A N D C H A RG I N G BATTERIES Your Jazzy 1105 uses two long-lasting, 12-volt batteries. These batteries are sealed, maintenance free, deep-cycle batteries. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deepcycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive batteries, they are not interchangeable.
I X . BAT T E R I E S A N D C H A RG I N G OFF-BOARD CHARGER CAUTION! Only chargers with Neutrik NC3MX plugs should be connected to the off-board charger/programming socket. See your authorized Pride provider for more information. If your Jazzy is equipped with an off-board charger, follow these instructions: 1. Position your Jazzy next to a standard wall outlet. 2. Be certain the controller power is turned off. 3. Remove the run plug located on the utility tray. This activates the inhibit function. 4.
I X . BAT T E R I E S A N D C H A RG I N G BATTERIES AND CHARGINGFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) How does the charger work? The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC (direct current). The Jazzy 1105 batteries use direct current to run your power chair. When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the battery. This is why the charging ammeter initially reads 5 or more amps.
I X . BAT T E R I E S A N D C H A RG I N G What type of battery should I use? We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Use these specifications to reorder deep-cycle batteries: Battery Specifications Type: Deep-cycle sealed lead-acid or gel cell Size: NF-22 Voltage: 12 volts each Amperage: 45 - 55 amp hours WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries.
I X . BAT T E R I E S A N D C H A RG I N G How should I store my Jazzy 1105 and its batteries? If you do not use your Jazzy 1105 regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least once a week. If you do not plan on using your Jazzy 1105 for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect the battery harnesses and store the Jazzy in a warm, dry environment.
