VI. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
ANTI-TIP WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your Jazzy increased stability
on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are preset at the factory to a
height of 1/2-in. off the ground. This setting is for smooth surfaces or
indoor use only. If you plan on using your Jazzy on rough surfaces, it
may be necessary to adjust the anti-tip wheels to better suit your needs.
The anti-tip wheels may need adjustment if either of the following occur:
n When coming to a stop, your Jazzy tips forward excessively.
n The anti-tip wheels constantly rub the ground.
NOTE
:
Each drive tire must have at least 30 - 35 lbs. of air pres-
sure in order for the anti-tip wheels to be properly adjusted.
To adjust the anti-tip wheels:
1. Place a 1/2-in. wrench on the inner locknut of the anti-tip bracket
located right after your shock strut. See figure 29.
2. Turn the locknut counterclockwise to loosen.
3. Place your 1/2-in. wrench on the adjustable cam located on the
other side of the locknut. See figure 30.
4. To adjust the anti-tip upward, turn the cam counterclockwise. To
adjust the anti-tip downward, turn the cam clockwise.
WARNING! Consult your authorized Pride provider
before attempting to change the anti-tip height!
Changing the anti-tip wheel height affects handling
under deceleration!
WARNING! The higher you raise the anti-tip wheels,
the more tendency your Jazzy has to tilt forward when
coming to a stop. You can compensate for this by
making a small adjustment to the pre-programmed
deceleration setting in the controller or by moving the
seat assembly further to the rear of your Jazzy.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
