YEARLY CHECKS
Take your Jet 1 to an authorized Pride provider for yearly maintenance. This helps ensure that your Jet1 is
functioning properly. Yearly maintenance will help prevent future complications.
STORAGE
Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the
batteries from the Jet 1. See IX. Batteries and Charging.
WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be
damaged.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION! Never hose off your Jet or place it in direct contact with water. Your Jet has a painted,
ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.
CAUTION! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become
slippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.
TIRES AND TUBES
If your Jet 1 is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check the air pressure at least once each week. Proper
inflation (3035 psi) will prolong the life of the tires as well as help ensure the perfect operation of your chair. If you
have a flat tire, replace the tube. Replacement tires and tubes are readily available at the authorized Pride provider
where you purchased your Jet1.
