Maximum Recommended Incline - Pride jazzy 1120 Owner's Manual

PUBLIC ROADS AND PARKING LOTS
WARNING! Do not operate your Jazzy 1120 on public streets and roadways. Please be aware it may
be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated in your Jazzy. To ensure your safety, always
assume you cannot be seen. Obey all authorized pedestrian traffic rules. Safety accessories like
reflectors, fluorescent flags, and various lighting packages are available to order from your Pride
provider.
STEPS AND KERBS
WARNING! Never attempt to have your Jazzy 1120 climb or descend a step or a kerb that is higher
than 10 cm. Never attempt to have your Jazzy 1120 proceed backwards down any step, kerb, or
other obstacle. Doing so could cause your Jazzy 1120 to tip.
INCLINES AND UNEVEN TERRAIN
When climbing an incline, try to keep your Jazzy moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then
accelerate cautiously.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.
Always drive your Jazzy straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline. Never travel up or down an incline
that can be potentially hazardous (for example, areas covered with snow, ice, or cut grass).
When driving down an incline, do so slowly and in the forward direction only. If your Jazzy 1120 starts to move
faster than you anticipated or desired it would, allow the chair to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick.
Push the joystick slightly forward and continue traveling slowly down the incline.

MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE

Pride has performed extensive incline testing with the Jazzy 1120. Our results show that the maximum incline your
Jazzy 1120 can safely climb is 8.7% at maximum weight capacity. The angle of most handicap access ramps is
8.7%. Any attempt to climb a steeper slope may put your Jazzy in an unstable position.
