    YOUR JET 12 Your Jet 12 is a folding power chair that has four main components: the seat assembly, the power base assembly, and two battery cases. The standard seat is a sling seat with a sling back. The power base assembly is the heart of the Jet 12.
  • Page 20 Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your Jet 12. It is located on the front battery box. When the batteries and the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker will trip to prevent damage to the motors and the electronics.
  • Page 21 Y O U R J E T Onboard Battery Charger: Your Jet 12 is equipped with a 5-amp onboard battery charger that is located inside the rear battery box. For battery charging instructions, see VIII. “Batteries and Charging.” Ammeter: Indicates rate of charge to the batteries. It is located on the rear battery box cover. For more information, see VIII.
  • Page 22 J E T MANUAL FREEWHEEL LEVERS For convenience, your Jet 12 is equipped with two (2) manual freewheel levers located on the front of your Jet 12. These levers allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.

    2. Run your Jet 12 about the house. Move slowly at first and don’t stray too far until you grow accustomed to the controls and break-in the batteries. 3. Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and run the Jet 12 again. The batteries will now perform at over 90% of their potential.
  • Page 26 Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your Jet 12 all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time. If you use your Jet 12 on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using it for the day.
  • Page 27 NOTE: If you are storing a Jet 12 for an extended period of time, you may wish to block the unit up off the ground or floor with several boards placed under the frame. This will keep the tires off the ground and prevent the possibility of flat spots developing where the tires rest on the ground or floor.

  • Page 28: Operation

    NOTE: We recommend that you turn the speed and response adjustment knob completely counterclockwise (to the slowest setting) the first few times you operate your Jet 12 to allow yourself to become familiar with your new power chair.

    TROUBLE CODES In addition to indicating the current state of battery charge, the battery condition meter can also indicate possible problems with your Jet 12. If the battery condition meter is flashing rapidly, the controller may be indicating a fault.

  • Page 30: Care And Maintenance

    1. Use a towel to dry your Jet 12 as much as possible. 2. Allow your Jet 12 to sit in a warm, dry place for 24 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate. 3. Perform all safety and operational tests before using your Jet 12 again.

  • Page 31: Weekly Checks

    Disconnect the controller and inspect the connection. Look for corrosion. Contact your authorized Pride provider if necessary. n Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your Jet 12. Do not overtighten any screws. n Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 3 ft. of clearance around your Jet 12.

  • Page 32: Cleaning Instructions

    TIRES Your Jet 12 is equipped with solid tires. You should check them at least once per week. This will prolong the life of your tires as well as help ensure the perfect operation of your chair. If you have a cut tire, replace it.

    These brushes are susceptible to wear over a long period of time. If worn, the motors run poorly or not at all. We recommend that your authorized Pride provider inspect the brushes every six months, or sooner if your Jet 12 runs poorly. CAUTION! If inspection determines exces- sive wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or motor damage will result.
