To Engage Or Disengage The Drive Motors; Active-Trac System - Pride Mobility Jazzy 1113 Owner's Manual

I I I .
Figure 8. Drive Mode (Drive Engaged)

To engage or disengage the drive motors:

1. Locate the manual freewheel levers at the front of the chair. See figure 5.
2. Push the levers down to engage the drive motors. See figure 8.
3. Pull the levers upward to disengage the drive motors. See figure 9.
NOTE: If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your power chair back and forth slightly. The
lever should then move to the desired position.

Active-Trac System

Your power chair is equipped with an Active-Trac System (ATS). See figure 10. ATS is a suspension system designed to
make your power chair 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.
As the front anti-tip wheels come in contact with an obstacle, the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn upward. At the
same time, the motors are forced downward. This allows the motors to push the power chair over an obstacle and limits
the possibility of your power chair becoming "hung up" on the obstacle.
ATS also helps in day-to-day operating conditions. For instance, when you release the joystick, your power chair 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.
