WARNING! Make sure your tires are inflated to 35 psi. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires.
Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Overinflating tires can
cause them to explode and can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires.
n Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them.
WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the
tires slippery and cause your Jazzy 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 well, 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 neutral position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for
damage. Visually inspect the boot. 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 harnesses.

WEEKLY CHECKS

n Disconnect and inspect the controller and the charger inhibit connection on the electronics tray. Look
for corrosion. Contact your authorized Pride Provider if necessary.
n Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your Jazzy. Do not overtighten any
screws.
n Check for proper tire inflation. There should be 35 psi in each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see an
authorized Pride Provider for replacement of the tube.
n Calibrate the joystick if a noticeable difference in performance is detected or if the joystick does not
operate properly. To calibrate the joystick, power off the unit, place the joystick in the neutral position,
and power the unit back on. If a problem still exists with your joystick’s performance, contact your
authorized Pride Provider.
n Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least three feet of clearance
around your Jazzy.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your Jazzy.
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 electric brakes click. Immediately release the joy-
stick. You must be able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick move-
ment. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backwards, then left, and then right.
