  • Page 10: Your Power Chair

    MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your power chair. Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
  • Page 11 Doing so could cause instability in your power chair. Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 6° (10.5%). See figure 1.
  • Page 12 Your power chair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your power chair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.

    Pride recommends that the power chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.
  • Page 15 Always have an attendant or healthcare professional present while learning to prop- erly transfer yourself.

  • Page 29 We do not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger). NOTE: Your power chair’s charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero voltage. If this happens, contact 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.
  • Page 30 More importantly, it will take a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain—then a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life. It will be well worth it to take the time to break in your battery properly. www.pridemobility.com Jazzy Elite 6...
