Ix. Batteries And Charging - Pride Jazzy 1120 Owner's Manual

I X . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G
To charge the batteries using the onboard charger:
1. Position the rear of your Jazzy 1120 close to a standard wall outlet.
2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the engaged position. See IV. “The
Jazzy 1120.”
3. Remove the rear cover.
4. Extend the charger power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. The Jazzy 1120 incorporates an inhibit function
that disables the powered wheelchair when the charger is plugged into a wall outlet.
5. The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute for the
charger to warm up. The ammeter may move as high as 5.5 amps, then gradually move back down to 0 amps
as the batteries charge.
6. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle slowly
drops to zero. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or near the zero mark on the
ammeter scale.
7. When your Jazzy 1120’s batteries are fully charged, you can unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wind
it up using the hook and loop strap, and place the cord back into the electronics module.
8. Replace the rear cover.
To charge the batteries using the off-board charger:
If your Jazzy is equipped with an off-board charger, follow these instructions.
1. Position your Jazzy next to a standard wall outlet.
2. Be certain the controller power is turned off.
3. Remove the run plug located on the utility tray. This activates the inhibit function.
4. Plug the 3-pin extension cable into the charger, then into the utility tray connector.
5. Plug the charger into the wall outlet.
6. The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute for the
charger to warm up. The ammeter should move all the way up to 5 amps, then gradually move back down to
0 amps.
7. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle slowly
drops to zero. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or near zero on the ammeter scale.
8. When your Jazzy 1120’s batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger cord from the wall outlet.
9. Disconnect the charger from the rear utility tray.
10. Reconnect the run plug into its connector.
NOTE : If the run plug is not reconnected, your Jazzy will not run.
