Electronics Tray
The electronics tray is located on the back of the power base. See figures 3 and 4. The ammeter, the onboard
charger AC power cord receptacle, the main circuit breaker, the controller connector, and the charger inhibit
connector are all located on the electronics tray.
Ammeter: The ammeter displays the charger’s current output in amps. SeeV. “Batteries and Charging.”
Onboard Battery Charger AC Power Cord Receptacle: This is where the AC power cord plugs into the
onboard charger.
Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your Jazzy. When the batteries and
the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent damage to the
motors and the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow your Jazzy to “rest” for approximately one minute. Next, push
in the circuit breaker button, turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker
continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorised Pride provider.
Controller Connector: This is where the controller connects to the power base.
Charger Inhibit Connector: Your power chair is equipped with a charger inhibit connector. The charger inhibit
enables the onboard charger to disable the controller during charging. The charger inhibit connector is coded with
coloured dots. The dots are positioned so that you can align the flat side of the male connector with the flat side of
the female connector before making the connection.
CAUTION! Failure to properly align the connectors can result in damage to the controller, the
charger, and the connectors.
Manual Freewheel Levers
For convenience, your Jazzy 1143 is equipped with two manual freewheel levers. See figures 2 and 3. These levers
allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use your Jazzy while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the
presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your Jazzy is on an incline. The
chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
CAUTION! It is important to remember that when your Jazzy is in freewheel mode, the braking
system is disengaged.
To engage or disengage the drive motors:
1. Locate the two (2) metal levers protruding from the body shroud.
2. Turn them rearward to engage the drive motors. See figure 5.
3. Turn them inward to disengage the drive motors. See figure 6.
If the lever is difficult to move in either direction, slightly rock the Jazzy back and forth. The lever should then move
to the desired position.
NOTE: When the Jazzy is in the freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
