Footrest Depth; Positining Belt; Pilot Controller - Pride Mobility JET 3 Owner's Manual

FOOTREST DEPTH

The Jet 3 uses a ball detent pin to fasten the footrest to the power base. See figure 17.
To adjust the footrest depth:
1. Remove the ball detent pin from the footrest bracket.
2. Move the footrest in or out to the desired depth.
3. Reinstall the ball detent pin.
POSITIONING BELT
Your power chair seat may be equipped with an adjustable, auto-type positioning belt. The positioning belt is designed to
support you so you do not slide down or forward in the seat. The positioning belt is not designed for use as a restraining
device.
To install the positioning belt:
1. Remove the rearmost screw that holds the seat hinge to the seat base on both the left and right seat hinges.
2. Insert the screw through the supplied washer, through the positioning belt, and into the seat base for each side.
3. Tighten both screws.
To adjust the positioning belt:
1. When seated, insert the metal tab on the right side of the belt into the plastic housing on the opposite strap until you hear a click.
2. Pull the strap on the right side of the belt until it is secure but not so tight as to cause discomfort.
WARNING! Although your power chair may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to
provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly
secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts securely fastened. Do not sit on your power chair while it is
in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or property damage may result.

Pilot Controller

Your power chair may be equipped with a Pilot controller. The joystick is housed in the same enclosure as the controller. This
assembly is mounted on the seat arm. The Pilot controller is connected to the motors and the batteries through the controller
connector and the charger harness connector. See figure 4.
JOYSTICK
The joystick controls the direction and speed of your power chair. When you move the joystick from the neutral (center)
position, the electromagnetic brakes release and allow your power chair to move. The farther you push the joystick from its
neutral position, the faster your power chair moves. When you release the joystick and allow it to return to the center position,
you engage the electromagnetic brakes. This causes your power chair to decelerate and come to a complete stop.
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the joystick.
Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.
WARNING! Do not use the power button to stop the chair. This may cause injury.
PEED AND RESPONSE ADJUSTMENT
The Pilot controller is equipped with a speed and response adjustment knob that allows you to select the speed and response
settings best suited to your requirements and environment. See figure 18. When you increase the speed (clockwise) or
decrease the speed (anticlockwise), appropriate changes are automatically made to the sensitivity.
NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you turn the speed and response
adjustment knob to the slowest setting until you become familiar with your new power chair.
BATTERY CONDITION LIGHTS
The battery condition lights are located immediately in front of the joystick. This enables you to monitor battery life. The battery
condition lights indicates the approximate amount of battery life left.
