Freewheel Levers - Pride Mobility Jazzy 1120 Owner's Manual

FREEWHEEL LEVERS

For your convenience, your Jazzy 1120 is equipped with two freewheel levers. See figures 7 and 8. These levers
allow you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use your Jazzy 1120 while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the
presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your Jazzy 1120 is on an incline.
The chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
To engage or disengage the freewheel feature:
1. Turn the freewheel levers outward to disengage the drive motors. See figure 7.
2. Turn the freewheel levers inward to engage the drive motors. See figure 8.
CAUTION! It is important to remember that when your Jazzy 1120 is in freewheel mode, the
braking system is disengaged.
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your Jazzy 1120 back and forth slightly. The lever should then
move to the desired position.
ACTIVE-TRAC SYSTEM
Your Jazzy 1120 is equipped with an Active-Trac System (ATS). ATS is a suspension system designed to make
your Jazzy traverse different types of terrain and obstacles while maintaining smooth operation. With ATS, your
front anti-tip wheels work in conjunction with your motor suspension to help you maneuver over obstacles in
excess of 8 cm in height.
As your front anti-tip wheels come in contact with an obstacle, the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn upward.
At the same time, your motors are forced downward. This allows the motors to push the Jazzy 1120 over an
obstacle without the possibility of becoming “hung up.”
ATS also helps in day-to-day operating conditions. For instance, when you release the joystick, your Jazzy begins
to slow down. As the chair slows down, the front anti-tip wheels will automatically drop toward the ground. This
will reduce the forward tip that is typically encountered with center wheel drive chairs.
