Can I use a different battery charger?
You should use the charger supplied with the Jazzy 1120. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries.
We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger). Your Jazzy 1120’s
charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, call your
authorized Pride provider for assistance.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your Jazzy 1120 all day
on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time.
n Daily Use
If you use your Jazzy 1120 on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished. Your Jazzy 1120
will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service. It is recommended that you charge the batteries 8
to 14 hours after daily use. Do not charge the batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle.
n Infrequent Use
If you use your Jazzy 1120 infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per
week for 12 to 14 hours.
NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Do not charge the
batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or curves. More
often you are presented with hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind. All of
these factors affect the distance or running time per battery charge. The following are a few suggestions for obtaining
the maximum range per charge.
n Always fully charge the batteries prior to your trip.
n Maintain 30–35 psi in pneumatic drive wheels.
n Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible.
n Limit baggage weight to essential items.
n Try to maintain an even speed and avoid stop-and-go driving.
