Battery Replacement

A diagram is printed on a decal located on the Jet frame
near the battery tray.
WARNING! Pride power chair batteries are heavy. Refer to the specifications table for specific
weights. If you are unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Lifting beyond your capacity
can result in personal injury.
To replace the batteries:
1. Turn the power off.
2. Unplug the connectors from the electronics tray.
3. Remove the seat.
4. Remove the shroud.
5. Loosen the wing nuts on the positive battery terminals first.
6. Disconnect the wires from the batteries.
7. Loosen the wing nuts on the negative battery terminals.
8. Disconnect the wires from the batteries.
9. Replace the batteries.
10. Install the batteries into your Jet with the terminal sides of the batteries
facing inward, toward each other.
11. Connect the wire marked (+) to the closest positive (red) battery termi-
nal.
12. Connect the wire marked (-) to the closest negative (black) battery ter-
minal on the other battery.
CAUTION! Make sure you tighten the fasteners so that they are secure.
13. Connect one circuit breaker harness to the empty positive terminal of one battery, and connect the other circuit
breaker harness to the empty negative terminal of the other battery.
The electric motors that power your Jet use carbon brushes. These brushes may become susceptible to wear over
a long period of time. The motor brushes are the two contacts located inside the motor assembly that supply
power to the motor. They are designed to provide several thousand hours of operation. However, if the brushes
become dirty with carbon deposits or wear out, the motor will run poorly or not at all.
CAUTION! If inspection determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or
motor damage will result. Failure to maintain the brushes could void the warranty.
To inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1. Remove the seat and body shroud. See VII. “Disassembly.”
2. Unscrew the motor brush caps. See figure 29.
3. Remove the brushes.
4. Inspect for wear.
5. Replace brushes, if necessary. Contact your authorized Pride provider for replacement brushes.
