SAFETY
WARNING! Do not operate your new power chair for the first time without completely reading and
understanding this owners manual.
Your power chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an
extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the power chair user. Please be aware that the final
selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of power chair to be used is the responsibility of the power
chair user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e. medical doctor
physical therapist etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the power
chair to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride provider in the
instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations including some medical conditions where the power chair user will need to practice
operating the power chair in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family
member or care professional specially trained in assisting a power chair user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your power chair during daily activities you will probably encounter situations in which you will
need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver
through doorways on and off of elevators up and down ramps and over moderate terrain.
Below are some precautions tips and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to
operating the power chair safely.
Modifications
Pride has designed and engineered your power chair to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of
accessories is available from your authorized Pride provider to further customize your power chair to better suit
your needs and/or preferences. However under no circumstances should you modify add remove or disable any
feature part or function of your power chair.
WARNING! Do not modify your power chair in any way not authorized by Pride. Unauthorized modi-
fications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.
Pre- ide Safety Check
Get to know the feel of your power chair and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check
before each use to make sure your power chair operates smoothly and safely. See X. Care and Maintenance.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your power chair:
nCheck for proper tire inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).
nCheck all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
nCheck all controller connections to the electronics tray. Make sure they are secured properly.

Jet 2/Rev F/Feb03 www.pridemobility.com 7
II. SAFETY
nCheck the brakes. See X. Care and Maintenance.
nCheck battery charge. See IX. Batteries and Charging.
NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your authorized ride provider for assistance.
Weight Limitations
Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit.
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
If your power chair is equipped with pneumatic tires you should check or have the air pressure checked at least
once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of
your power chair.
WARNING! It is important that 30-35 psi 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 overin-
flated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi 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 Jazzy.
WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tires from a regulated air source with an available pres-
sure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in
a burst tire and/or personal injury.
Incline Information
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination designed for easy and safe access.
Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on
your power chair.
nProceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
nTake wide swings with your power chairs front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that the power
chairs rear wheels will follow a wide arc not cut the corner short and not bump into or get hung up on any
railing corners.
nWhen driving down a ramp keep the power chairs speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to
ensure a safely controlled descent. See VIII. Operation.
nAvoid sudden stops and starts.
When climbing an incline try to keep your power chair moving. If you must stop start up again slowly and then
accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline set your power chair to the slowest setting and drive in the
forward direction only. If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired
allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick then push the joystick forward slightly to ensure a
safely controlled descent.

8 www.pridemobility.com Jet 2/Rev F/Feb03
II. SAFETY
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. his 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 backwards. his may result in personal injury.
WARNING! Even though your power chair is capable of climbing slopes greater than those illus-
trated 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, result-
ing in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 all handicap public access ramps are required to
have a maximum slope of 5°. 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°. See figure 1.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° may put your power chair in an
unstable position and cause it to flip, resulting in personal injury.
Braking Information
Your power chair is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
1. Regenerative  uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the joystick returns to the center/stop position.
2. Disc Park Brake  activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop or when
power is removed from the system for any reason.
Cornering Information
While your power chair is equipped with rear caster wheels in back and anti-tip wheels in front excessively high
cornering speeds can still create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include but
are not limited to: cornering speed steering angle (how sharply you are turning) uneven road surfaces inclined
road surfaces riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to
a paved area  especially at high speed while turning) and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are
not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e. lessen
the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your power chair from tipping.
Figure 1. Maximum Incline and Decline

Jet 2/Rev F/Feb03 www.pridemobility.com 9
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. his greatly reduces the possibility of a tip
or fall. o avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always exercise common sense when
cornering.
Outdoor Driving Surfaces
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. Feel free to use your power chair safely on lawns and in park areas.
nReduce your power chairs speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
nAvoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.
nAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
nIf you feel unsure about a driving surface avoid that surface.
Freewheel Mode
Your power chair is equipped with a manual freewheel lever to allow for manual maneuverability by a trained
attendant. For more information about how to place your power chair into and out of freewheel mode see IV.
Your Jet 2.
WARNING! Do not use your power chair in freewheel mode without an attendant present. Personal
injury may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your power chair in freewheel mode while seated on
it. Personal injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.
WARNING! Do not place your power chair in freewheel mode while on an incline. he chair could
roll uncontrollably on its own, causing personal injury.
Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.)
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (curbs
porches stairs etc.). The correct method for approaching a curb is illustrated in figure 2.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair climb or descend an obstacle that is higher
than two inches unless you have the assistance of an attendant.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair proceed backward down any step, curb, or
other obstacle. his may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury.
Public Streets and oadways
WARNING! You should not operate your power chair on public streets and roadways. Be aware that
it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your power chair. Obey all local
pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme
caution.
Stairs and Escalators
Power chairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Never use your power chair to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause injury to
yourself and to others and/or damage your power chair.
Doors
nDetermine if the door opens toward or away from you.
nDrive your power chair gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your power chair gently
and slowly backward to pull the door open.
Elevators
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that when pushed reopens the elevator door(s).
nIf you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close push on the rubber door edge or
allow the rubber door edge to contact the power chair and the door will reopen.
nUse care that pocketbooks packages or power chair accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
EMI & FI
Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause
unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When
EM adversely affects the operation of an electronic device it is called Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) or
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). For more information see III. EMI/RFI.
Lift/Elevation Products
If you will be traveling with your power chair you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in
transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions specifications and safety information
set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.

Jet 2/Rev F/Feb03 www.pridemobility.com 11
II. SAFETY
Motor Vehicle Transport
Currently there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a
person while seated in a power chair.
Transfers
Transferring onto and off of your power chair requires a good sense of balance. Always have an attendant or
healthcare professional present while learning to properly transfer yourself.
To eliminate the possibility of injury Pride recommends that you or a trained attendant perform the following tasks
before attempting a transfer:
nTurn the power off. See VIII. Operation.
nEnsure your power chair is not in freewheel mode. See IV. Your Jet 2.
nTurn both caster wheels toward the transfer destination to improve power chair stability during transfer.
nMake sure both armrests are flipped up or removed from your power chair.
nFlip the footrest up or move the leg rests aside; this will help to keep your feet from getting caught on the
footrest or the leg rests during the transfer.
nReduce the distance between your power chair and the object you are transferring onto.
WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the power chair seat to
prevent the power chair from tipping forward during transfer and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the power
chair to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. Such use may cause the power chair to
tip and cause personal injury.
Positioning Belts
Your authorized Pride 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.
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! he positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is your
Jazzy 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.
WARNING! Do not sit on your power chair while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or
property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your power chair and its batteries are properly secured when it is being
transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.

12 www.pridemobility.com Jet 2/Rev F/Feb03
II. SAFETY
Inclement Weather Precautions
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not operate your power chair in icy or slippery conditions
or on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads). Such use may adversely affect the performance and
safety of your power chair, resulting in an accident and personal injury.
WARNING! Do not expose your power chair to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist, or
wash). Such exposure can damage your power chair. Never operate your power chair if it has been
exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
eaching and Bending
Never reach lean or bend while driving your power chair. If it is absolutely necessary to reach lean or bend while
seated on your power chair it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the power chair from
tipping. 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.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by
reaching down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity
and the weight distribution of the power chair. his may cause your power chair to tip, possibly
resulting in personal injury. Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.
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 IX. Batteries and Charging.
WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that
much weight, be sure to get help. Lifting beyond your capacity can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging
a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
Preventing Unintended movement
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time,
turn off the power. his will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent joystick contact. his will
also eliminate the possibility of unintended chair movement from electromagnetic (EM) sources.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
Prescription Drugs/Physical Limitations
Users must exercise care and common sense when operating a power chair. This includes awareness of safety
issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or if
you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability to
operate your power chair in a safe manner.

Jet 2/Rev F/Feb03 www.pridemobility.com 13
II. SAFETY
Alcohol
The power chair user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her power chair. This includes
awareness of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol.
WARNING! Do not operate your power chair while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this
may impair your ability to operate your power chair in a safe manner.
emovable Parts
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable parts. Personal
injury and/or damage to the power chair may result.

14 www.pridemobility.com Jet 2/Rev F/Feb03
III. EMI/RFI
EMI/ FI WA NINGS
Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause
unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When
this energy unintentionally affects the operation of an electronic device it is called Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
WARNING! Radio waves may interfere with the control of power chairs.
F EQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
The following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this information to minimize the risk
that EMI/RFI may affect your power chair.
Where do radio waves come from?
Radio waves are emitted from the antennas of cellular phones mobile two-way radios walkie-talkies radio
stations TV stations amateur radio (HAM) transmitters wireless computer links microwave sources and paging
transmitters. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). EM is more intense closer to transmitting
antennas which are sources of emission. The greater the transmission strength the greater the concern to electric
mobility vehicle users.
If my power chair is affected by EMI/RFI, what kind of motion should I e pect?
This is hard to predict. The effect may depend on a number of factors including:
nStrength of the radio waves
nConstruction of the electric mobility vehicle
nPosition of the power chair (whether it is on level ground or on a slope)
nWhether or not the electric mobility vehicle is in motion
Electric mobility vehicle motion caused by EMI/RFI can be erratic. The vehicle may move by itself or come to a
sudden stop. Furthermore it is possible for EMI/RFI to unexpectedly release the brakes on an electric mobility
vehicle. Some intense sources of EMI/RFI can even damage the control system of an electric mobility vehicle.
Is there any way to know for sure whether radio waves are responsible for the unintended motion
of my power chair?
Unfortunately interference from radio wave sources may be difficult to recognize because the signals from these
sources are invisible and may be intermittent. However the FDA recommends that you report all incidents of
unintended motion or brake release to the electric mobility vehicle manufacturer and if possible note whether
there was a radio wave source nearby at the time of the incident.
Has anyone been hurt from erratic, unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles?
The FDA has reports of injuries that may have resulted from the uncontrolled motion of electric mobility vehicles.
However it is unclear how many of these incidents were actually caused by radio wave interference.

Jet 2/Rev F/Feb03 www.pridemobility.com 15
III. EMI/RFI
Are all electric mobility vehicles susceptible to EMI/RFI?
Each make and model differs in its ability to resist EMI/RFI. Each electric mobility vehicle has a particular level of
immunity to EMI/RFI. This immunity is measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher immunity level offers greater
protection. In other words a power chair with a high immunity level is less likely to be affected by a strong radio
source than one with a low immunity level.
What is the FDA doing about the problem?
The FDA has written to electric mobility vehicle manufacturers and requested that they test their new products to
be sure that they provide a reasonable degree of immunity against EMI/RFI. The letter states that electric mobility
vehicles should have an immunity level of at least 20 V/m. This provides a reasonable degree of protection against
the common sources of EMI/RFI.
The FDA has also requested or recommended that:
nElectric mobility vehicle manufacturers clearly label new products with their immunity level or state that the
immunity level is not known.
nThe labeling or informational material supplied with new electric mobility vehicles must explain what the
immunity level means and warn users about the possibility of EMI/RFI and how to avoid it.
nElectric mobility vehicle manufacturers undertake an educational program to inform users and their caregiv-
ers about the problems associated with EMI/RFI and about the actions they can take to minimize the risk of
EMI/RFI.
nWhile there is no exact way to tell if your electric mobility vehicle is totally safe from EMI/RFI an immunity
level of 20 V/m is generally achievable and useful. Your Jet 2 has been tested and passed at an immunity
level of 20 V/m.
What can I do to find out if my power chair is likely to be affected by EMI/RFI?
If you have owned your power chair for a long time and have not experienced unintended motion it is unlikely that
you will have problems in the future. However it is always possible that problems could arise if your power chair
is close to a source of radio waves. Therefore it is very important to be alert to this possibility. Your power chair
meets or exceeds an immunity level of at least 20 V/m.
What can I do to reduce the risk that my power chair could be affected by EMI/RFI?
Here are some precautions you can take:
nDo not turn on or use hand-held personal communications devices such as citizens band (CB) radios and
cellular phones while the power chair is on.
nBe aware of nearby transmitters such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two-way radios and
try not to come close to them. For example if you are in a power chair with an immunity level of 20 V/m
you should remain at least three feet from a hand-held two-way radio and ten feet from a mobile two-way
radio.
nBe aware that adding accessories and/or components or modifying the power chair may make it more
susceptible to interference from radio wave sources.
What should I do i my power chair moves unexpectedly?
If unintended motion or brake release occurs turn the power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride at
800-424-8205 to report the incident.
