Weight Limitations
Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this
limit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal
injury and/or damage to your power chair. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries
and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your power chair. Carrying passengers on your
power chair may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Tire Inflation
If your power chair is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at
least once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth
operation of your power chair.
WARNING! It is important that 30-35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires at
all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of
control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure in
pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious per-
sonal injury and/or damage to your Jazzy.
WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tires from a regulated air source with an avail-
able pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate
them, resulting in a burst tire and/or personal injury.
Incline Information
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe
access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering
skills on your power chair.
n
Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
n
Take wide swings with your power chairs front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the
power chairs rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung
up on any railing corners.
n
When driving down a ramp, keep the power chairs speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to
ensure a safely controlled descent. See VIII. Operation.
n
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
