    I I . S A F E T Y WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. This greatly reduces the possibil- ity of a tip or fall. To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always exercise com- mon sense when cornering. Outdoor Driving Surfaces Your power chair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt.

    I I . S A F E T Y Prescription Drugs/Physical Limitations Users must exercise care and common sense when operating a power chair. This includes awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations. WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or if you have certain physical limitations.

  • Page 14: Emi/Rfi

    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 unintended motion of power chairs. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy. When this energy ad- versely affects the operation of an electronic device, it is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
  • Page 15 I I I . E M I / R F I Are all power chairs susceptible to EMI/RFI? Each make and model of chair differs in its ability to resist electromagnetic interference. That is, each has a particular level of “immunity” to interference, measured in volts per meter (Vm). A higher immunity level offers greater protection.

    V I I I . O P E R A T I O N Troubleshooting The VSI controller is designed with the user’s safety as the prime consideration. It incorporates many sophisticated self-test features which search for potential problems at a rate of 100 times per second. If the VSI detects a problem either in its own circuits or in the power chair’s electrical system, it may stop the power chair, depending on the severity of the problem.

  • Page 36: Batteries And Charging

    I X . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G BATTERIES The Jet uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance free batteries. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge.
  • Page 37 I X . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G 3. Remove the battery charger cord from the back pouch of your Jet and plug it into the battery charger AC power cord receptacle located on the electronics tray.
  • Page 38 I X . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How does the charger work? The battery charger takes the standard wall outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC (direct current).
  • Page 39 I X . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G What type of battery should I use? We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both sealed lead-acid (SLA) and gel cell are deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance.
  • Page 40 I X . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G How should I store my Jet and its batteries? If you do not use your Jet regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least once per week.
