6 Jazzy 1103
II. SAFETY
WARNING: The Jazzy 1103 is a motorized vehicle. When you are seated in your
Jazzy 1103 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 movement and conserves battery power.
The Jazzy 1103 is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to enhance your mobility. There are,
however, certain situationsincluding some medical conditionswhere you will need to practice operating your
Jazzy 1103 in the presence of an attendant. Below are some safety tips that are designed to help you become
accustomed to your new Jazzy.
TRANSFERS
Transferring onto and off of your Jazzy 1103 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:
1. Be sure the power is turned off.
2. Be sure the Jazzy 1103 is not in the freewheel mode.
3. Make sure the armrests are flipped up or removed from the powered wheelchair.
4. Tip the footrest up; this helps to keep your feet from hanging up on the footrest during the transfer.
WARNING: Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest.
This may cause the Jazzy 1103 to tip and cause injury!
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Though 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.
l Never sit on or allow anyone to sit on the Jazzy 1103 in a moving vehicle.
l Always be sure your Jazzy 1103 is properly secured when being transported.
TIE-DOWN SYSTEM DISCLAIMER
Neither Pride nor its providers assume responsibility for the Jazzy used in vehicle tie-down applications.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Jazzy 1103 is rated for an 113 kg/18 stone maximum weight limit. Exceeding the weight limit voids your Jazzy
warranty and may result in personal injury.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Wheelchairs 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 others.
