ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Your Jet 1 is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You
can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from an authorized Pride provider. Preventive
maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help
ensure that your Jet1 gives you years of trouble-free operation. If you have any doubt as to your Jet 1s care or
operation, contact your authorized Pride provider.
CAUTION! Direct exposure to water or dampness could cause the power chair to malfunction
electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical components to corrode and the chairs
frame to rust.
Should your Jet 1 come in contact with water:
1. Dry your Jet 1 as much as possible with a dry towel.
2. Allow your Jet 1 to sit in a warm dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.
3. Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your Jet 1 again.
4. If any inconsistencies are found, take your Jet 1 to an authorized Pride provider.
TEMPERATURE
Some of the parts of your Jet 1 are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature. Always keep your Jet 1 in an
environment that is between 18° F and 122° F.
n In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they will freeze
depends on a number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g., sealed
lead-acid or gel cell).
n Temperatures above 122° F may cause your Jet 1 to operate at a reduced speed. This is a safety feature built
into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and to other electrical components. See VIII.
Operation.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
X. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Figure 26. Check Tire Pressure
n Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.
n Avoid prolonged exposure of your Jet 1 to extreme conditions, such
as heat, cold, or moisture.
n Keep the controller clean.
n Check all controller connectors on the utility tray to ensure that they
are all tight and secured properly. Also check the charger harness
connector.
n When the battery indicator gauge is completely lit, the batteries are
fully charged, and the controller and the electrical system are OK.
n If two red LEDs on the battery indicator gauge are blinking slowly,
the batteries are low and need to be charged, but the controller and
the electrical system are OK.
n If the battery condition meter is blinking rapidly, the controller has
detected a fault in either its own circuits or in your Jet 1s circuits.
See VIII. Operation.
n Make sure the drive tires are inflated to 3035 psi. See figure 26.
