MOTOR BRUSHES
The electric motors that power your Jazzy 1104 use carbon brushes. These brushes may become suscep-
tible to wear over a long period of time. The motor brushes are the two contacts located inside the motor
assembly that supply power to the motor. They are designed to provide several thousand hours of opera-
tion. However, if the brushes become dirty with carbon deposits or wear out, the motor will run poorly or
not at all.
CAUTION! If inspection determines excessive wear on the brushes, they must be replaced or
motor damage will result. Failure to maintain the brushes could void the warranty.
To inspect or replace the motor brushes:
1. Remove the seat, body shroud, and batteries. See VII. Disassembly in this manual.
2. Unscrew the motor brush caps. See figure 30.
3. Remove the brushes.
4. Inspect for wear.
5. Replace brushes, if necessary. Contact your local authorized Pride provider for replacement brushes.
WHEN TO SEE YOUR PRIDE PROVIDER FOR SERVICE
The following symptoms could indicate a serious problem with your Jazzy 1104. If necessary, contact an
authorized Pride provider. When calling, have the model number, serial number, nature of the problem,
and the trouble code if available.
n Motor noise
n Frayed harnesses
n Cracked or broken connectors
n Uneven wear on any of the tires
n Jerky motion
n Pulling to one side
n Bent or broken wheel assemblies
n Does not power up
n Powers up, but does not move
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
If the battery indicator gauge does not light up when you turn on the power:
n Check the harness connections. Make sure they are tight.
n Check the circuit breaker. Reset it if necessary.
n Check the battery connections.
If the above conditions prove normal, you can load test the batteries with a battery load tester. These testers
are available at automotive parts stores. Disconnect both batteries before load testing and follow the direc-
tions that come with the load tester. If either one of the batteries fails the load test, replace both of them. If
your Jazzy 1104 still does not power up, contact your local Pride provider.
