Your Jet 1 is a state-of-the-art, life-enhancement device designed to increase your mobility. There are certain
situations, including some medical conditions, where you will need to practice operating your Jet 1 in the presence
of an attendant. Below are some safety tips that are designed to help you become accustomed to operating your
new Jet 1 safely.
WARNING! Your Jet 1 is a motorized vehicle. When you are seated in your Jet 1 and you anticipate
that you are going to be in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power.
This will eliminate the possibility of inadvertent chair movement and conserve battery power.
TRANSFERS
Transferring onto and off of your Jet 1 requires a good sense of balance. Be sure to have an attendant or health care
professional present while learning to properly transfer yourself. To eliminate the possibility of injury, we ask that
you verify the following before attempting a transfer:
1. Be sure the power is turned off. See VII. “Operation.”
2. Be sure your Jet 1 is not in freewheel mode. See III. “The Jet 1.”
3. Make sure the armrests are flipped up or removed from your Jet 1.
4. Flip the footrest up or move the leg rests aside; this will help to keep your feet from getting caught on the
footrest or on the leg rests during the transfer.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. This may cause the Jet 1 to tip and
cause injury.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Though your Jet 1 may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt was not designed with the intent of providing
proper restraint during motor vehicle transport.
n Never sit on or allow anyone to sit on your Jet 1 when it is in a moving vehicle.
n Always be sure your Jet 1 is properly secured when it is being transported.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your Jet 1 is rated for a maximum 113-kg weight limit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit will void your warranty and may result in personal injury.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
WARNING! Power chairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an
elevator. If you try to navigate steps or escalators, you can cause injury to yourself and to others.
