Positioning Belts; Removable Parts - Pride Mobility Quantum Jazzy 1420 Owner's Manual

WARNING! Do not sit on your power chair while it is in a moving vehicle.
WARNING! Always be sure your power chair and its batteries are properly secured when it is
being transported. Batteries should be stored in an upright position and protective caps should
be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be transported with any flammable
or combustible items.

Positioning Belts

Your Quantum Rehab Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining
your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your power chair safely. Typically, the positioning belt
is not designed for use as a restraining device in a motor vehicle.
Positioning belts should be installed as detailed in this manual. See V. "Comfort Adjustments." Once installed,
the belt should be placed across the pelvis as determined by the user's healthcare dealer. Anchor points of the
positioning belts should be located so that a projected side-view angle of the pelvis is between 30°-75° of
horizontal depending on the user's weight, posture, and the seat cushion thickness.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your power chair, make sure it is
fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the power chair.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is
your power chair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should
be properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For
more information about your power chair's batteries, see VI. "Batteries and Charging."

Removable Parts

WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable parts, including
the armrests, seat, front riggings, controller, and shrouds.
Preventing Unintended Movement
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time,
turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent joystick contact. This
will also eliminate the possibility of unintended chair movement from electromagnetic (EM)
sources.
