Electronics Tray
The electronics tray is located on the back of the power base. See figures 3 and 4. The ammeter, the onboard charger AC power
lead, the main circuit breaker, the controller connector, and the charger fuse are all located on the electronics tray.
Ammeter:
The ammeter displays the charger’s current output in amps. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.”
Onboard Charger AC Power Lead Receptacle:
This is where the onboard charger AC power lead plugs into the power base.
Main Circuit Breaker:
The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your Jazzy. When the batteries and the motors are
heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent damage to the motors and the electronics.
If the circuit trips, allow your Jazzy to “rest” for approximately one minute. Next, push in the circuit breaker button, turn on the
controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorised Pride
provider.
Controller Connector:
This is where the controller connects to the power base.
Charger Fuse:
The charger fuse protects the ammeter from current overload. There are two fuses on the utility tray. The top
one is the charger fuse. The bottom one is a spare.
Active-Trac Suspension
The Jazzy 1121 is equipped with Active-Trac Suspension (ATS). ATS is a suspension system designed to make your Jazzy
traverse different types of terrain and obstacles while maintaining smooth operation. With ATS, your front anti-tip wheels work
in conjunction with your motor suspension to help you maneuver over obstacles in excess of 10 cm (4 in.) in height.
As your front anti-tip wheels come in contact with an obstacle, the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn upward. At the same
time, your motors are forced downward. This allows the motors to push the Jazzy 1121 over an obstacle without the possibility
of becoming “hung up.”
ATS also helps in day-to-day operating conditions. For instance, when you release the joystick, your Jazzy begins to slow
down. As the chair slows down, the front anti-tip wheels will automatically drop toward the ground. This will reduce the
forward tip that is typically encountered with center-wheel drive chairs.
