Weekly Checks - Pride Mobility Jet 12 Owner's Manual

X . C A R E
n Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them. Check the tires for wear.
WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the
tires slippery and cause your power chair to skid.
n The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to
help it retain its high-gloss appearance.
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat
within the battery area, with the battery terminals facing inward toward each other. Refer to the frame
decal for the correct wiring layout.
n All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
DAILY CHECKS
n With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns
to the center when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage.
Visually inspect the boot only. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride provider if
there is a problem.
n Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed or cut or have any wires
exposed. See your authorized Pride provider if there is a problem with any of these harnesses.

WEEKLY CHECKS

n 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.
To check the brakes:
NOTE: Your Jet 12 may move when performing this test.
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed and response adjustment knob.
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the park brakes click. Immediately release the joystick.
You must be able to hear each park brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement.
4. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backwards, left, and right.
MONTHLY CHECKS
n Check that the anti-tip wheels are not rubbing the ground when you are operating the Jet 12. Adjust
them as necessary. See VI. “Comfort Adjustments.”
n Check for extreme wear on the front anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
n Check for drive tire wear. See your authorized Pride provider for repair.
n Check the rear caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.
