Figure 40. Check Tire Pressure
WARNING! Make sure your tires are inflated to
30-35 psi. Do not underinflate or overinflate your
tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control,
and overinflated tires may burst. Serious
personal injury may result.
WARNING! Overinflating tires can cause them
to explode and can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to
inflate your tires.
n
Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help pre-
serve them.
WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on
the tread area of the tires; doing so may make
the tires slippery and cause your Jazzy to skid.
n
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.
n
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat
within the battery well, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other. Refer to the frame
decal for the correct wiring layout.
n
All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
DAILY CHECKS
n
With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns
to the center 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 service center if there is
a problem.
n
Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed or cut or have any wires
exposed. See your authorized Pride provider if there is a problem with any of these harnesses.
WEEKLY CHECKS
n
Disconnect and inspect the controller and the charger harnesses from the utility tray. Look for corro-
sion. Contact your authorized Pride provider if necessary.
n
Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your Jazzy. Do not overtighten
any screws.
n
Check for proper tire inflation. There should be 30 35 psi in each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see
your authorized Pride provider for replacement of the tube.
n
Calibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not
operate properly. You can do this for both the Remote Plus and Pilot controllers.
n
Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance
around your Jazzy.
