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 y Pride. Unauthorized
modifications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.

II. SAFETY
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 e held responsi le for injuries and/or property
damage resulting from failure to o serve 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 nflation
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 35 psi tire pressure e 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 urst. Failure to maintain 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 Jet.
WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tires from a regulated air source with an availa le pres-
sure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in
a urst tire and/or personal injury.
ncline nformation
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 VII. 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.
WARNING! When clim ing 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 possi ility 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 ackwards. This may result in personal injury.

II. SAFETY
WARNING! Even though your power chair is capa le of clim ing 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 insta ility in your power chair, resulting 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 clim or descend a slope steeper than 5° may put your power chair in
an unsta le position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.
Braking nformation
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 nformation
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.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. This greatly reduces the possi ility of a
tip or fall. To 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.

WARNING! Do not use your power chair in freewheel mode without an attendant present. Per-
sonal 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. The chair could
roll uncontrolla ly 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 1a.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair clim or descend an o stacle that is higher
than two inches unless you have the assistance of an attendant.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair proceed ackward down any step, cur , or
other o stacle. This may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury.

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.
EM & RF
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.
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 VII. Operation.
nEnsure your power chair is not in freewheel mode. See IV. The Quantum Jazzy 1400 Series.
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 ack as possi le 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 earing purposes. Such use may cause the power

QuantumJazzy1400SeriesRevDMay04 www.pridemobility.com
III. EMI/RFI
EMI/RFI
Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause unintended
motion of power chairs. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy. When this energy adversely 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.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this information to minimize the risk that EMI/
RFI will affect your power chair.
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 electromagnetic energy 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 power chair users.
If my power chair is affected by EMI/ FI, what kind of motion should I expect?
This is hard to predict. It would depend on a number of factors:
nStrength of the radio waves
nConstruction of the power chair
nPosition of the power chair whether it is on level ground or on an incline)
nWhether or not the power chair is in motion
An affected power chair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 power chair. Some intense sources of EMI/RFI can even damage the
control system of the Power chair.
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, 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 power chair 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 power chairs?
The FDA has reports of injuries that resulted from the apparent uncontrolled motion of power chairs. However, it is unclear
how many of these incidents were actually caused by radio wave interference.
Are all power chairs susceptible to EMI/ FI?
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 Vm). 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.

14 www.pridemobility.com QuantumJazzy1400SeriesRevDMay04
III. EMI/RFI
What is the FDA doing about the problem?
The FDA has written to the manufacturers of power chairs 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 power chairs 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 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 power chair must explain what the
immunity level means, and the labeling or informational material must warn users about the possibility of EMI/RFI and
how to avoid it. In addition, the FDA has recommended that manufacturers establish an educational program to inform
users of power chairs, and their caregivers, about the problems associated with EMI/RFI, and the actions they can take to
minimize the risk.
What can I do to find out if my power chair is likely to be affected by EMI/ FI?
If youve had your power chair for a long time and havent experienced any unintended motion, it is not likely that you will have
problems in the future. But it is always possible that problems could arise if you are close to a source of radio waves. Therefore, it
is very important to be alert to this possibility. The 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/ FI?
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. There is no easy way to evaluate their effect upon the overall immunity of the
power chair.
What should I do if 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.

Electronics Tray
The electronics tray is located on the back of the power base. See figures 3 and 4. The ammeter, the onboard charger AC power
cord, the main circuit breaker, the controller connector, and the charger fuse are all located on the electronics tray.
Ammeter: The ammeter displays the chargers current output in amps. See VI. Batteries and Charging.
Onboard Charger AC Power Cord: This is where the AC power cord plugs into the onboard charger.
Main Circuit Breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your power chair. When the batteries and the
motors are heavily strained e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent damage to the motors and the
electronics. If the circuit trips, allow your power chair to rest for approximately one minute. Next, push in the circuit breaker
reset button, turn on the controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly,
contact your authorized Pride provider.
Controller Connector: This is where the controller connects to the power base. The Remote Plus and the Europa use small,
multi-pin communications cable connectors.
Charger Fuse: The charger fuse protects the ammeter from current overload. There are three fuses on the utility tray. The
top one is the charger fuse. The bottom two are spares.
Lighting System Connector (Not Shown): This is where the lighting system connects to the power base. Standard lighting
systems have a single pin connector. Full lighting systems use a 3-pin connector.
Active-Trac Suspension
Your Quantum Jazzy 1400 Series is equipped with Active-Trac Suspension ATS). ATS is a system designed to make your
power chair 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 two inches in height.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair clim or descend an o stacle that is higher than two
inches unless you have the assistance of an attendant.
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 power chair 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 power chair 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 mid-wheel drive chairs.

Manual Freewheel Lever
For your convenience, your power chair is equipped with one of two manual freewheel levers. See figures 5
and 6. These levers allow
you to disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
WARNING! Do not use your power chair while the drive motors are disengaged unless you are in the
presence of an attendant! Do not disengage the drive motors when your power chair is on an incline. The
chair could roll down on its own, causing injury!
CAUTION! It is important to remem er that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the raking
system is disengaged.
To operate the manual freewheel lever :
1. Pull the manual freewheel lever out and rotate clockwise for freewheel mode drive disengaged.) See figure 5.
2. Rotate the manual freewheel lever counterclockwise for drive mode drive motors engaged.) See figure 6.

V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
After becoming familiar with your power chairs operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your
comfort, such as seat height and angle, armrest angle, footrest height and angle, and the controllers position. If your power
chair is equipped with a Synergy Seat or the TRU-Balance, refer to the information provided in separate manuals. If your power chair
is equipped with a medium back, a high back, or a reclining seat, refer to the following information.
WARNING! If your power chair was configured at your authorized Pride provider, please consult your
healthcare professional efore changing the seat position or making any other adjustment. Some
adjustments may degrade your power chairs performance and safety y changing its center of gravity.
You may need the following to make comfort adjustments:
nmetric/standard hex key set
nmetric/standard socket set and ratchet
nadjustable wrench
Seat Height and Seat Angle Adjustment
There are four seat towers that connect the seat to the power base. See
figures 3 and 8. You can change the seat height to one of three positions
in 1-in. increments by raising the seat towers. If you raise or lower only
one set of seat towers front or rear), you can also change the seat base
angle. If your power chair is equipped with a power elevating seat, then
you change the seat height through the controller or a switch.
To change the seat height or seat angle:
1. Unplug the connector s) from the electronics tray.
2. Press both seat plungers and lift up the front of the seat if equipped
with footrest). See figure 7. Press both front seat tower latches and lift up
the front of the seat elevating leg rests and swing-away footrest). See figure
