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. 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.
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. If your power chair is equipped with a medium-back, a high-back, or a reclining seat, refer to the following information.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS 12. Reinstall each screw into the trapeze bars and tighten. 13. Reinstall the seat. 14. Reconnect the controller to the power base. 15.

VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING The Jazzy 600 XL 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 NOTE: If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are two lights in it. The red light indicates that power to the off-board charger is on. The green light indicates that the batteries are fully charged. If it is not a Pride offboard charger, then follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer. 5. When the batteries are fully charged, unplug the off-board charger from the wall outlet and then from the controller.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle. How can I get maximum range or distance per charge? Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or curves. More often you are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How should I store my power chair and its batteries? If you do not use your power chair regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least once per week. If you do not plan on using your power chair for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect the battery harnesses and store the power chair in a warm, dry environment.
VII. OPERATION FLIGHT CONTROLLER The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. It takes the battery voltage and sends it to the appropriate system. The electronic controller enables you to move the power chair, as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system. The FLIGHT is part of a modular electronic controller system. The system consists of more than one module.
VII. OPERATION On/Off Key The on/off key turns the FLIGHT on and off. WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency situation, do not use the on/off key to stop the chair. This will cause the power chair to stop abruptly. WARNING! Always turn the power off when you are stationary to prevent unexpected movement. Battery Condition Meter The battery condition meter consists of ten lights arranged in an arc over the on/off key. As the battery voltage drops, the number of lights reduces from right to left.
VII. OPERATION Speed Keys There are two keys that control the speed. Press the hare key to increase the speed. Press the tortoise key to decrease the speed. The speed setting is displayed on the speed indicator. If your power chair was programmed with a drive profile, contact your authorized Pride Provider for more information. NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you set the speed to the slowest setting until you become familiar with your new power chair.
VIII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Jazzy 600 XL is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks.
