Page 9: Weight Limitations
Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit. WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations. - Page 10 In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all handicap public access ramps are required to have a maximum slope of 5°. Therefore, Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 5°.
- Page 11 Your power chair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your power chair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your power chair safely on lawns and in park areas.

Page 12: Public Streets And Roadways
If you will be traveling with your power chair, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in transporta- tion. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product. -

Page 14: Reaching And Bending
Never reach, lean, or bend while driving your power chair. If it is absolutely necessary to reach, lean, or bend while seated on your power chair, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the power chair from tipping. Pride recommends that the power chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional. - Page 15 I I I . E M I / R F I EMI/RFI Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause unin- tended motion of power chairs. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy. When this energy adversely affects the operation of an electronic device, it is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).

A S S E M B L Y SEAT INSTALLATION It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial operation or after transporting your power chair.

The UMS consists of universal parts that may be attached to any medium-back or high-back seat, regardless of seat width or seat depth. -

Page 28: Batteries And Charging
V I I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G BATTERIES AND CHARGING The Jet 3 Ultra uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. - Page 29 C H A R G I N G 5. If it is a Pride off-board charger, then there are two lights in it. The red light indicates that power to the off-board charger is on. The green light indicates that the batteries are fully charged. If it is not a Pride off-board charger, then follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer.
- Page 30 We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s specific demands. Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encoun- ter temperature extremes that may influence initial performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery, and cold slows the power available and extends the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).
- Page 31 V I I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G How can I ensure maximum battery life? A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your power chair’s batteries fully charged whenever possible.
- Page 32 V I I I . O P E R A T I O N VSI CONTROLLER The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. It takes the battery voltage and sends it to the appropriate system. The electronic controller enables you to move the power chair, as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system.
