6Jet 1
Your Jet 1 is a state-of-the-art, life-enhancement de ice designed to increase your mobility. There are certain
situations, including some medical conditions, where you will need to practice operating your Jet 1 in the presence
of an attendant. Below are some safety tips that are designed to help you become accustomed to operating your
new Jet 1 safely.
WARNING! Your Jet 1 is a motorized vehicle. When you are seated in your Jet 1 and you anticipate
that you are going to be in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power.
his will eliminate the possibility of inadvertent chair movement and conserve battery power.
TRANSFERS
Transferring onto and off of your Jet 1 requires a good sense of balance. Be sure to ha e an attendant or health care
professional present while learning to properly transfer yourself. To eliminate the possibility of injury, we ask that
you erify the following before attempting a transfer:
1. Be sure the power is turned off. See VII. Operation.
2. Be sure your Jet 1 is not in freewheel mode. See III. The Jet 1.
3. Make sure the armrests are flipped up or remo ed from your Jet 1.
4. Flip the footrest up or mo e the leg rests aside; this will help to keep your feet from getting caught on the
footrest or on the leg rests during the transfer.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. his may cause the Jet 1 to tip and
cause injury.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Though your Jet 1 may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt was not designed with the intent of pro iding
proper restraint during motor ehicle transport.
nNe er sit on or allow anyone to sit on your Jet 1 when it is in a mo ing ehicle.
nAlways be sure your Jet 1 is properly secured when it is being transported.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Jet 1 is rated for a maximum 113-kg weight limit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit will void your warranty and may result in personal injury.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
WARNING! Power chairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an
elevator. If you try to navigate steps or escalators, you can cause injury to yourself and to others.

Jet 1
II. SAFETY
PUBLIC ROADS AND PARKING LOTS
WARNING! Do not operate your Jet 1 on public streets and roadways. Please be aware it
may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated in your Jet 1. o ensure your
safety, always assume you cannot be seen. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Safety
accessories like reflectors, fluorescent flags, and various lighting packages are available
to order from your Pride provider.
STEPS AND KERBS
WARNING! Never attempt to have your Jet 1 climb or descend a step or a kerb that is higher than 5
cm unless you have the assistance of an attendant. Never attempt to have your Jet 1 proceed
backwards down any step, kerb, or other obstacle. Doing so could cause your Jet 1 to tip.
INCLINES AND UNEVEN TERRAIN
When climbing an incline, try to keep your Jet 1 mo ing. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then
accelerate cautiously.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.
Drive your Jet 1 straight up the incline. his will greatly reduce the possibility of a tip or a fall.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline. Never travel up or down an incline
that can be potentially hazardous (for example, areas covered with snow, ice, or cut grass).
When dri ing down an incline, do so slowly and in the forward direction only. If your Jet 1 starts to mo e faster
than you anticipated or desired it would, allow the chair to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick. Push
the joystick slightly forward and continue tra eling slowly down the incline.
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE
Pride has performed extensi e incline testing with the Jet 1. Our results show that the maximum incline your Jet 1
can safely climb is 8,7% at maximum weight capacity. The angle of most handicap access ramps is 8,7%. Any
attempt to climb a steeper slope may put your Jet 1 in an unstable position.

UTILITY TRAY
The utility tray is located on the rear of your Jet 1. The utility tray is exposed through the body shroud. The utility
tray consists of the battery charger power cord outlet, the ammeter, the main circuit breaker, and the joystick
controller harness connectors.
nAmmeter: The ammeter displays the chargers current output in amps. See figure 4. For more information,
see VII. Operation.
nBattery charger power cord outlet: This is where your battery charger power cord plugs in. See figure 4.
The battery charger power cord is not attached to the unit at all times. See figure 3. For more information, see
VIII. Batteries and Charging.
nMain circuit breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your Jet 1. See figure 4. When the
batteries and the motors are hea ily strained (e.g., from excessi e loads), the main circuit breaker will trip to
pre ent damage to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow your Jet 1 to rest for approximately
one minute. Next, in the circuit breaker button, turn on the joystick controller and continue normal operation. If
the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorized Pride pro ider.
nJoystick controller harness connectors: This is where the joystick connects to the motors, batteries, and
charger. If your Jet 1 is equipped with a Dynamic DL controller, there are two connectors on the tray. See
figure 4.

FREEWHEEL LEVERS
For your con enience, your Jet 1 is equipped with two freewheel le ers. See figures 5 and 6. These le ers allow
you to disengage the dri e motors and maneu er the chair manually.
WARNING! DO NO use your Jet 1 while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the
presence of an attendant! DO NO disengage the drive motors when your Jet 1 is on an incline. he
chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
To engage or disengage the freewheel feature:
1. Turn the freewheel le ers outward to disengage the
dri e motors. See figure 5.
2. Turn the freewheel le ers inward, to engage the dri e
motors. See figure 6.
NOTE: It is important to remember that when your Jet
is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
If a le er is difficult to mo e in either direction, rock your Jet 1
back and forth slightly. The le er should then mo e to the
desired position.

ANTI-TIP WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The anti-tip wheels are designed to gi e your Jet 1 increased
stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are preset at
the factory to a height of 2 cm off of the ground. This setting
is for smooth surfaces or indoor use only. If you plan on using
your Jet 1 on rough surfaces, it may be necessary to adjust
the anti-tip wheels to better suit your needs.
The anti-tip wheels may need adjustment if either of the fol-
lowing occur:
nWhen coming to a stop, your Jet 1 tips forward excessi ely.
nThe anti-tip wheels constantly rub the ground.
Re uired Tool: 13 mm wrench
NOTE: Each drive tyre must have at least 30 lbs. of air
pressure in order for the anti-tip wheels to be properly
adjusted.
To adjust the anti tip wheels:
1. Remo e the seat and body shroud.
2. Adjust the 13 mm anti-tip adjustment nut so that the anti-
tip wheel is 1,2 cm to 2,5 cm off of the ground. Turn the
nut clockwise to raise the anti-tip wheel and counterclock-
wise to lower the anti-tip wheel. See figure 22.
NOTE: The higher you raise the anti-tip wheels, the more
tendency your Jet will have to tilt forward when coming
to a stop. You can compensate for this by making a small
adjustment to the preprogrammed deceleration setting in
the controller.

the seat upward.
BODY SHROUD REMOVAL
The body shroud is a one-piece, molded plastic body that co ers the power base frame. It helps protect the Jet 1
components from the en ironment. It also pro ides mounting points for lights and the standard light switch. You
must remo e the body shroud in order to change the batteries and check the cable connections.

5. Disconnect the lighting harness (if your Jet 1 is equipped with lights).
6. Lift the body shroud straight up. The body shroud is attached to the metal frame by reusable fasteners. The
body shroud should lift up easily.
WARNING! Your Jet 1 batteries weigh approximately 17 kg each. Lifting weight above your
capacity could result in injury.
BATTERY REMOVAL
To remove the batteries:
1. Turn the power off.
2. Disconnect the controller harness.
3. Remo e the seat and lift off the body shroud.
