16 Jazzy 1103
JOYSTICK FUNCTIONS
The joystick controls the direction and speed of the wheelchair. When you move the joystick from the center
(neutral) position, the electromagnetic brake releases and allows the wheelchair to move. The further you push the
joystick from its neutral position the faster you can move the chair. When you release the joystick and allow it to
return to the neutral position, you engage the electromagnetic brake. This causes the chair to decelerate and come
to a complete stop.
CAUTION: In an emergency, you can use the on/off button to stop the Jazzy.
However, the sudden deceleration can result in your unexpected movement
and possible injury.
SPEED AND RESPONSE ADJUSTMENTS
The Pilot controller is equipped with a speed and response adjustment knob that helps you select the speed and
response settings best suited to your requirements and environment. See figure 12. The knob controls the speed
at which the Jazzy 1103 responds to joystick movement. When this knob is turned completely counterclockwise,
the forward and reverse acceleration and braking are slowed substantially. When this knob is turned fully clock-
wise, the Jazzy 1103 responds to joystick commands in a more lively fashion.
NOTE
:
We recommend that the first few times you operate your Jazzy 1103 that you turn the speed and
response knob completely counterclockwise to allow you to become familiar with your new Jazzy 1103.
BATTERY CONDITION METER
The battery condition meter is located immediately in front of the joystick. This enables you to monitor battery life.
The battery condition meter indicates the approximate amount of battery life left. See figure 12.
l Red, yellow, and green bars indicate that the batteries are fully charged.
l Red and yellow bars indicate that you should charge the battery if possible.
l Red bars indicate that you should charge the battery as soon as possible, because low battery voltage may
cause the chair to become inoperative.
NOTE
:
When the batteries begin to approach a discharged state, the first red bar will begin to slowly
flash, reminding you the batteries need to be charged immediately!
TROUBLE CODES
In addition to indicating the current state of battery charge, the battery condition meter can also indicate possible
problems with your Jazzy 1103. If the battery condition meter is flashing rapidly, the controller may be indicating
a fault.
The meter itself has ten individual bars. The bars are meant to provide information by the amount of bars that are
flashing. For instance, the very first red bar flashing rapidly indicates that the battery voltage is nearly depleted.
The following is a list of the possible errors signified by the rapidly flashing meter.
