II. SAFETY
Weight Limitations
Yourpowerchair is ratedforamaximum weightcapacity.Please refer tothespecificationstable forthislimit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal injury
and/or damage to your power chair. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property
damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your power chair. Carrying passengers on your power
chair may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Tire Inflation
Ifyour powerchairis equippedwithpneumatictires, youshouldcheckor havetheairpressure checked regularly.Proper
inflationpressureswillprolongthelifeofyourtiresandhelpensurethesmoothoperationofyourpowerchair.
WARNING! It is important that 35 psi (2.4 bar) tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires
at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of
control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 35 psi (2.4 bar) tire pressure in
pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal
injury and/or damage to your power chair.
WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a
burst tire and/or personal injury.
Incline Information

!Proceedwithextremecautionasyou approach the downgrade of a ramp orother incline.
!Takewide swingswithyour powerchair’sfrontwheelsaroundanytightcorners.Ifyoudothat,thepowerchair’srear
wheelswill follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and notbumpintoorgethunguponanyrailingcorners.
!Whendriving down a ramp,keepthe power chair’s speed adjustment settothe slowest speed settingtoensure a
safelycontrolleddescent.See VII.“Operation.”
!Avoid suddenstopsand starts.
Whenclimbinganincline,trytokeepyourpowerchair moving.Ifyoumuststop,startupagainslowlyandthen accelerate
cautiously.Whendrivingdownan incline, set your power chair to theslowest setting anddrive inthe forwarddirection
only. If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a
completestop by releasingthejoystick,thenpushthe joystick forward slightlytoensureasafelycontrolled descent.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.
Drive your power chair straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered
with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the power chair in freewheel
mode while seated on it or standing next to it. Doing so may result in personal injury and/or
damage to your power chair.
WARNING! Never travel down an incline backward. This may result in personal injury.

5 (8.7%)
Figure 1. Maximum Safe Angle (Ascending and Descending)
WARNING! Even though your power chair is capable of climbing slopes greater than those illustrated in
figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications
presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your power chair, resulting in personal injury
and/or damage to your power chair.
Incompliance with theAmericanswithDisabilitiesActof 1990, all handicap public access ramps are required to have a
maximumslope of 5° (8.7%). Therefore, Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely
ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 5° (8.7%). See figure 1.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° (8.7%) may put your power
chair in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.
Braking Information

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. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can
have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
Electromagneticand Radio Frequency Interference cancome from sources such ascellular phones, mobiletwo-way
radios(suchaswalkie-talkies),radiostations,TVstations,amateurradio(HAM)transmitters,wirelesscomputerlinks,
microwavesignals,paging transmitters, and medium-rangemobiletransceivers used by emergencyvehicles.In some

WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio transmitters
may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility vehicle due to EMI.
Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid
coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered mobility vehicle
can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your power chair in any way
not authorized by Pride.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance of other
electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center on www.pridemobility.com. If unin-
tended motion or brake release occurs, turn your power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride at 800-

Active-Trac Suspension
The Jazzy 1121 is equipped withActive-Trac Suspension (ATS). ATS is a suspension system designed to make your

Asthefrontanti-tipwheelscomeincontactwithanobstacle, the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn upward. At the

thepossibilityofbecoming“hungup”ontheobstacle.
ATSalsohelpsinday-to-day operating conditions. For instance, when you release thejoystick,yourpowerchairbegins
