WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areascovered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves). WARNING! Never travel down an incline backward. Doing so may cause the powerchair to tip. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline. Jazzy 600 Series II. SAFETY II. SAFETY WARNING! If your power chair is equipped with a reclining seatback, do not attempt to negotiateinclines with the seat in a reclined position. Do not attempt to negotiate obstacles with the seatin a reclined position unless an attendant is present to help stabilize the chair. Failure to heedmay result in the power chair tipping over. WARNING! Even though your power chair is capable of climbing slopes greater than thoseillustrated in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any otherspecifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your power chair. 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. 5° (8.7%) WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° (8.7%) may put your powerchair in an unstable position and cause it to tip. Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Safe Slope (Ascending and Descending) Freewheel Mode Your power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers 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 III. “Your Power Chair.” WARNING! Do not use your power chair in freewheel mode without an attendant present. WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your power chair in freewheel modewhile seated on it. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary. WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not disconnect the batteries when thepower chair is in freewheel mode as this may interfere with the function of thecontroller. WARNING! Do not place your power chair in freewheel mode while on an incline ordecline. This could cause the chair to roll uncontrollably on its own. Braking Information Your power chair is equipped with two powerful brake systems: • Regenerative — uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the joystick returns to the center/stop position. • 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 front and rear caster wheels, 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 and maintain a stable center of gravity. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. Jazzy 600 Series II. SAFETY II. SAFETY Public Streets and Roadways WARNING! You should not operate your power chair on public streets and roadways. Be awarethat it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your power chair. Obey alllocal pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed withextreme caution. 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. • Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces. • Avoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear. • Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand. • Do not use your power chair in fresh or salt water. • Do not use your power chair at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean. • If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface. Inclement Weather Precautions Exposure of your power chair to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenlycaught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your power chair, proceed to shelter at the earliestopportunity. Thoroughly dry your power chair before storing, charging, or operating your power chair. PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions,...
