II. SAFETY
Your Jazzy 1400 is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase your mobility. There are
certain situations, including some medical conditions, where you will need to practice operating your Jazzy
1400 in the presence of an attendant. Below are some safety tips that are designed to help you become
accustomed to operating your new Jazzy safely.
WARNING:Your Jazzy 1400 is a motorized vehicle. When you are seated on your Jazzy 1400 and
you anticipate that you are going to be in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn
off the power. This eliminates the possibility of unexpected chair movement and conserves
battery power.
TRANSFERS
Transferring onto and off of your Jazzy 1400 requires a good sense of balance. Be sure to have an attendant
or health care professional present while learning to properly transfer yourself. To eliminate the possibility
of injury, we ask that you verify the following before attempting a transfer:
nBe sure the power is turned off. See VIII. “Operation” in this manual.
nBe sure your Jazzy 1400 is not in freewheel mode. See IV. “The Jazzy 1400” in this manual.
nMake sure the armrests are flipped up or removed from your Jazzy.
nFlip the footrest up, or move the leg rests aside; this will help to keep your feet from “hanging up” on
the footrest or on the leg rests during the transfer.
WARNING:Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. This may cause the Jazzy to tip and
cause injury.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Although your Jazzy may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt was not designed with the intent of
providing proper restraint during motor vehicle transport.
nIn an effort to improve the safety of its units during motor vehicle transport, Pride has crash-tested
numerousJazzy models. However, since thereare unlimited variations of the Jazzyproduct, all variations
could not possibly be tested. Therefore, Pride recommends that Jazzy power chair users should not be
transported in vehicles of any kind while in power chairs. As of this date, there are no standards
approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a user while in a power chair.
nAlways be sure your Jazzy 1400 is properly secured when it is being transported.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Jazzy 1400 is rated for a maximum 180 kg (400 lbs.) weight limit. Exceeding the weight limit voids
your warranty and may result in personal injury.
PUBLIC ROADS AND PARKING LOTS
It may be difficult for motorists to see you when you are seated on your Jazzy 1400. To ensure your safety,
alwaysassumeyoucannotbeseen.Waituntilyourpathis clearoftraffic, andthenproceedwithextreme caution.

Jazzy1400/RevC/Sept02 www.pridemobility.com 7
II. SAFETY
NOTE:Many municipalities have laws concerning operating your powered wheelchair on public roads.
Be sure to check local laws before attempting to do so.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Wheelchairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators.Always use an elevator. If you try to
negotiate steps or escalators, you can cause injury to yourself and to others.
STEPS AND CURBS
nNever attempt to have your Jazzy 1400 climb or descend a step or a kerb that is higher than four (4)
inches unless you have the assistance of an attendant.
nNever attempt to have your Jazzy 1400 proceed rearwards down any step, kerb, or other obstacle.
Doing so could cause your Jazzy 1400 to tip.
INCLINES AND UNEVEN TERRAIN
When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your Jazzy
straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme
caution when negotiating an incline.
nNever travel up or down an incline that can be potentially hazardous (for example, areas covered with
snow, ice, or cut grass).
nWhen climbing an incline, try to keep your Jazzy moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and
then accelerate cautiously.
When driving down an incline, do so slowly by setting the throttle control on the slowest setting and
driving in the forward direction only. If your Jazzy 1400 starts to move faster than you anticipated or
desired, allow the chair to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick; then push the joystick slightly
forward and continue traveling slowly down the incline.
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE
Pride has performed extensive incline testing with the Jazzy 1400. Our results show that the maximum
incline your Jazzy 1400 can safely climb is 8.7 percent at maximum weight capacity. Five degrees is the
angle of most handicap access ramps. Any attempt to climb a steeper slope may put your Jazzy in an
unstable position.

III. EMI/RFI
Laboratorytestsperformedby theFoodandDrugAdministration(FDA) haveshownthatradiowavescan cause
unintendedmotionofpowered wheelchairs.Radiowavesarea formofelectromagneticenergy(EM). Whenthis
energyadverselyaffectstheoperationofanelectronicdevice,itiscalledElectromagneticInterference(EMI)
or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
WARNING:Radio waves may interfere with the control of powered wheelchairs.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) ABOUT EMI/RFI
The following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this information to minimize
the risk that EMI/RFI will affect your powered wheelchair.
Where do radio waves come from?
Radio waves are emitted from the antennas of cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-
talkies), radio stations,TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave
sources, and paging transmitters. Radio waves are a form of EM. Because electromagnetic energy is more
intense closer to the transmitting antenna (source of emission), the EM fields from two-way radios are of
special concern to powered wheelchair users.
If my powered wheelchair is affected by EMI/RFI, what kind of motion should I expect?
This is hard to predict. It would depend on a number of factors:
nStrength of the radio wave
nConstruction of the powered wheelchair
nPosition of the powered wheelchair (whether it is on level ground or on an incline)
nWhether or not the powered wheelchair is in motion
An affected wheelchair’s movement can be erratic. It may move by itself or come to a sudden stop.
Furthermore, it is possible for EMI/RFI to unexpectedly release the brakes on a powered wheelchair. Some
intense sources of EMI/RFI can even damage the control system of your Jazzy.
Is there any way to know for sure whether radio waves are responsible for the unintended motion
of my powered wheelchair?
Unfortunately, interference from radio wave sources may be difficult to recognize, since 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 powered wheelchair 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 powered wheelchairs?
The FDA has reports of injuries that resulted from the apparently uncontrolled motion of powered
wheelchairs. However, it is unclear how many of these incidents were actually caused by radio wave
interference.

Jazzy1400/RevC/Sept02 www.pridemobility.com 9
III. EMI/RFI
Are all powered wheelchairs susceptible to EMI/RFI?
Each make and model of chair differs in its ability to resist electromagnetic interference. That is, each has
a particular level of “immunity” to interference, measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher immunity
level offers greater protection. In other words, a powered wheelchair that has a high immunity level is less
likely to be affected by a strong radio source than is a powered wheelchair that has a low immunity level.
What is the FDA doing about the problem?
The FDA has written to the manufacturers of powered wheelchairs 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 powered wheelchairs should have an immunity of at least 20 V/m. This provides a reasonable degree
of protection against the common sources of EMI/RFI. The Jazzy 1400 meets or exceeds an immunity level
of at least 20 V/m.
The FDA has also requested that these manufacturers clearly label their products with the immunity level,
or state that the immunity level is not known. The labeling and informational material supplied with the
poweredwheelchair must explain whatthe immunity level means, and the labeling or informational material
mustwarnusersabout the possibility of EMI/RFI and how to avoid it.Inaddition,theFDA has recommended
thatmanufacturers establish an educational program toinformpowered wheelchair users and their caregivers
about the problems associated with EMI/RFI, and about the actions that can be taken to minimize the risk
ofEMI/RFI.TheFDArequested that manufacturers of poweredwheelchairs have these actions implemented
by December 2, 1994.
What can I do to find out if my powered wheelchair is likely to be affected by EMI/RFI?
If you’ve had your powered wheelchair for a long time and haven’t experienced any unintended motion, it
is not likely that you will have problems in the future. Nevertheless, it is always possible that problems
couldariseifyouareclose to a sourceofradiowaves.Therefore,itisveryimportanttobealertto this possibility.
What can I do to reduce the risk that my powered wheelchair 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 powered wheelchair 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 powered wheelchair 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 powered wheelchair, may make
it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources. There is no easy way to evaluate their
effect upon the overall immunity of the powered wheelchair.
What should I do if my powered wheelchair moves unexpectedly?
If unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair off as soon as it is safe to do so.
If my powered wheelchair moves unexpectedly, where should I report this?
Call Pride at [phone] to report the incident.

and Charging” in this manual.
nBattery charger lead: This is the AC power lead for
the battery charger.
nMain circuit breaker: This is a safety feature built
intoyourJazzy 1400.Whenthe batteries and the motors
are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the
main circuit breaker will trip to prevent damage to the
motors and to the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow
your Jazzy to “rest” for approximately one minute.
Then, push 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 authorised Pride provider.
nController harness connectors: This is where the
joystick connects to the motors, batteries, and charger.
Your Jazzy is equipped with a Remote Plus or Europa Remote controller. See figures 3 and 4.
nOptional lighting harness connector: This is where the optional lighting harness connects to the
controller. If a full lighting package is used, an additional 4-pin plug is located in the rear utility tray.
nOptional power seat connector: This is for the power seat switch.
FREEWHEEL LEVERS
For your convenience, your Jazzy 1400 is equipped with one freewheel lever. See figures 6 and 7. This
lever allows you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING:DO NOT use your Jazzy 1400 while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in
the presence of an attendant. DO NOT disengage the drive motors when your Jazzy 1400 is on an
incline. The chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!

IV. THE JAZZY 1400
To put the Jazzy 1400 in freewheel mode:
At the top of the freewheel/drive-motor lever is a release switch. To lift the freewheel/drive-motor lever,
hold the lever while pressing the release switch with your thumb. Lift up on the lever. If the lever is
difficult to move, rock your Jazzy back and forth slightly. The lever should then move to the desired
position. With the lever in the raised position, let go of the release switch. The Jazzy is now in freewheel
mode. See figure 6.
To engage the drive motors:
Push down on the freewheel/drive-motor lever until it locks into place in the lowered position. The release
switch at the top of the lever will “click” and lock the lever in place. The drive motors on the Jazzy are now
engaged. See figure 7.
NOTE:It is important to remember that when your Jazzy 1400 is in freewheel mode, the braking system is
disengaged.
If a lever is difficult to move in either direction, rock your Jazzy 1400 back and forth slightly. The lever
should then move to the desired position.

IV. THE JAZZY 1400
ACTIVE-TRAC SYSTEM
Your Jazzy 1400 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, the front anti-tip wheels work in conjunction with the motor suspension to help you maneuver over
obstacles in excess of three (3) inches in height.
As the front anti-tip wheels come in contact with an obstacle, the front anti-tip wheel assembly is drawn
upward while the motor suspension is moved downward. This reduces the possibility of the Jazzy 1400
becoming “hung up.”
ATS also helps in normal operating conditions. For instance, when you release the joystick, your Jazzy
begins to slow down.As your Jazzy slows, the front anti-tip wheels automatically lower toward the ground.
This reduces the forward tip that typically happens when center-wheel-drive chairs slow and come to a stop.
REAR SUSPENSION
Your Jazzy is equipped with Rear Suspension. See figure 8. This suspension system works in conjunction
with the ATS and is also designed to maintain a smooth ride when driving over rough terrain and up and
down kerbs. This system works by allowing the caster forks to respond to weight transfers and abrupt
terrain. The rear caster wheels will pivot as you drive over obstacles. This system also compensates for the
lowering of the front anti-tip wheels.
