Safety; Motor Vehicle Transport; Weight Limitations; Stairs And Escalators - Pride jazzy 1120 Owner's Manual

Your Jazzy 1120 is a state-of-the-art, life-enhancement device designed to increase your mobility. There are
certain situations, including some medical conditions, where you will need to practice operating your Jazzy 1120 in
the presence of an attendant. Below are some safety tips that are designed to help you become accustomed to
operating your new Jazzy safely.
WARNING! Your Jazzy 1120 is a motorized vehicle. When you are seated in your Jazzy 1120 and
you anticipate that you are going to be in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn
off the power. This eliminates the possibility of unexpected chair movement and conserves
battery power.
TRANSFERS
Transferring onto and off of your Jazzy 1120 requires a good sense of balance. Be sure to have an attendant or
health care professional present while learning to properly transfer yourself. To eliminate the possibility of injury, we
ask that you verify the following before attempting a transfer:
1. Be sure the power is turned off. See VII. “Operation.”
2. Be sure your Jazzy 1120 is not in freewheel mode. See III. “The Jazzy 1120.”
3. Make sure the armrests are flipped up or removed from your Jazzy.
4. Flip the footrest up or move the leg rests aside; this helps to keep your feet from getting caught on the footrest
or on the leg rests during the transfer.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. This may cause the Jazzy 1120 to tip
and cause injury.

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

Although your Jazzy may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt was not designed with the intent of providing
proper restraint during motor vehicle transport.
n In an effort to improve the safety of its units during motor vehicle transport, Pride has crash tested numerous
Jazzy models. However, since there are unlimited variations of the Jazzy product, all variations could not
possibly be tested. Therefore, Pride recommends that Jazzy power chair users should not to be transported in
vehicles of any kind while in power chairs. As of this date, there are no standards approved for tie-down
systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a user while in a power chair.
n Always be sure your Jazzy 1120 is properly secured when it is being transported.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your Jazzy 1120 is rated for a maximum 136-kg (21.6 stone) weight limit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury!

STAIRS AND ESCALATORS

WARNING! Power chairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an
elevator. If you try to negotiate steps or escalators, you can cause injury to yourself and to others!
