MOTOR BRAKE TEST
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the power and turn down the speed and response adjustment knob.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that they remain on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electronic brakes click. Immediately release the joystick. You
must be able to hear each electronic brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement.
4. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick rearwards, then left, and then right. If either brake does not
sound like it is engaging, contact your authorised Pride provider immediately.
MOTOR BRUSHES
The electric motors that propel your power chair use carbon brushes. The motor brushes are the two contacts located inside
the motor/brake assembly that supply power to the motor. They are designed to provide several thousand hours of operation.
However, if the brushes become dirty with carbon deposits or wear out, the motor may run poorly or not at all. If inspection
determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or motor damage will result.
CAUTION! Failure to maintain the brushes could damage your motor/brake assemblies and void your
warranty.
To inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1. Remove the battery boxes.
2. Unscrew the motor brush caps. There are two on each
motor. See figure 9.
3. Remove the brushes.
4. Inspect for wear, such as black deposits on the brush
contact surface.
5. Replace brushes, if necessary. Contact your authorised
Pride provider for replacement brushes.

Seating System

After you have used your Jet 7 for an extended period of time, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your
comfort.
WARNING! If your Jet 7 was configured by your authorised Pride provider, please consult them before making
any adjustments. Some adjustments may degrade your Jet 7's performance and safety by changing its center
of gravity.

SEAT HEIGHT AND ANGLE

You can change the seat height by either raising or lowering the four seat towers.
To change the seat height:
1. Remove the seat. See "Disassembly."
