• Care And Maintanenece:
  - Your Jazzy Sport 2 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 an authorized service representative.
  - 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.
  - Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied. Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements. Avoid damp areas of any kind.
  - Direct or prolonged exposure to water or dampness could cause the power chair to malfunction electronically and mechanically.
  - Water can cause electrical components to corrode and the chairs frame to rust.
  - Power chairs should be examined periodically for signs of corrosion caused by water exposure, bodily fluids exposure, or incontinence. Damaged components should be replaced or treated immediately.
  Care:
  - Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a towel.
  - Allow your power chair to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.
  - Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your power chair again.
  - If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to an authorized service center.
  - Power chairs that are frequently exposed to sources of water, such as incontinence, should be inspected often for corrosion and electronic components may need to be replaced frequently.
  - Temperature „ Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your power chair between the temperatures of 18°F (-8°C) and 122°F (50°C).
  - In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze depends on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g., AGM or Gel-Cell).
  - Temperatures above 122°F (50°C) may cause your power chair to operate at a reduced speed. This reduced speed is a safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical components.
• General Guidelines
  - Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.
  - Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture.
  - Keep the controller clean.
  - Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.
  - Make sure pneumatic tires are inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tire.
• Warning:
  - Make sure your tires are inflated to the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on the tire for pneumatic tires.
  - Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Overinflating tires can cause them to explode.
  - Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires.
  - Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them.
  - Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the tires slippery and cause your power chair to skid.
  - 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 boxes and battery well frame with the battery terminals facing inward toward each other. Refer to the battery wiring label for the correct wiring layout.
• Daily Checks:
  - With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the neutral position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage.
  - Visually inspect the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.
  - Visually inspect the controller harness. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed.
  - Check for flat spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
  - Inspect the seating system, armrests, and front riggings for loose hardware, stress points, or damage.
• Weekly Checks:
  - Inspect the controller and charger harnesses for corrosion. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if necessary.
  - Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws.
  - Check for proper tire inflation. If a tire does not hold air, contact your authorized Pride Provider for replacement of the tube.
  - Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 3 feet (1 meter) of clearance around your power chair.
• To check the brakes:
  - Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair.
  - After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
  - Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click.
  - Immediately release the joystick. You must be able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement.
  - Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backward, then left, and then right.
• Monthly Checks
  - Check that the anti-tip wheels do not rub the ground when you operate the power chair.
  - Adjust them as necessary. Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
  - Check for drive tire wear.
  - Check the caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.
  - Check the caster forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings replaced.
  - Check the entire power chair for loose hardware and changes in the function or performance of the power chair.
  - Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink
• Yearly Checks:
  - Take your power chair to your authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power chair on a daily 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.
  - If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged.
  - Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.
  - It is recommended that you charge the batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper performance. You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your power chair to raise it off of the ground during periods of prolonged storage.
  - This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the tires contacting the ground.
• Cleaning and Disinfection:
  - Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your power chair. Avoid using products that may scratch the surface of your power chair.
  - If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on your product before application.
  - Never hose off your power chair or place it in direct contact with water. Your power chair has a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth
  - Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become slippery or dry out and crack.
  - Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.
• Wheel Replacement:
  - If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, replace the tube.
  - If your chair is equipped with a solid tire insert, then you must replace the whole wheel assembly.
  - Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily available through your authorized Pride Provider.
  - The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced or replaced by an authorized Pride Provider or a qualified technician.
  - Be sure that the power to the controller is turned off and the power chair is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
  - When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut and washer, then remove the wheel.
