properly and helps 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 Jazzy. See VII. “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 Jazzy or place it in direct contact with water. Your Jazzy 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.
Tire/Wheel Replacement
If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire insert, then
you must replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily available through
your authorized Pride Provider.
WARNING! To avoid possible injury, be sure that the controller’s power is turned off and the
power chair is not in freewheel mode before performing this procedure.
WARNING! Completely deflate the tire before attempting repair.
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe repair for both solid and pneumatic tires:
1. Turn off the power to the controller.
2. Set the power chair up on blocks.
3. If you are changing a pneumatic tire, completely deflate it before removing the wheel.
4. Use a socket wrench to remove the drive wheel nut from the center hub of the wheel.
5. Pull the wheel off the axle.
