VI. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
MONTHLY CHECKS
l Check that the anti-tip wheels are not rubbing the ground when you are operating the Jazzy. Adjust them as
necessary. See IV, “Comfort Adjustments.”
l Check for extreme wear on the front anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.
l Check for drive tyre wear. See an authorized Pride provider for repair.
l Check the rear casters for wear. Replace as necessary.
l Check the rear forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or the bearings
may need to be replaced. See an authorized Pride provider for repair.
l Keep your Jazzy clean and free of foreign material, such as hair, food, drink, etc.
YEARLY CHECKS
Take your Jazzy to an authorized Pride provider for yearly maintenance. This will help ensure that your Jazzy is
functioning properly and help prevent future complications.
STORAGE
Your wheelchair should be stored in a dry place free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the
batteries from the Jazzy. See III, “Operation” for complete instructions. If you fail to store the unit under the above
conditions, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
l Never hose off your Jazzy 1103 or place it in direct contact with water.
l Your Jazzy 1103 has a clear-coated ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a
damp cloth. 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.
TYRES AND TUBES
If your Jazzy 1103 is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check the air pressure at least once a week. This
prolongs the life of your tyres as well as helps ensure the perfect operation of your chair. If you have a flat tyre,
replace the tube. Replacement tyres and tubes are readily available at the Pride provider location where you
purchased your Jazzy 1103.
WARNING: Completely deflate the tyre before attempting repair!
Follow these easy steps for a quick and safe tube or tyre replacement:
1. Completely deflate the tyre (if pneumatic).
2. Use a 9/16-in. wrench to remove the nut from wheel axle.
3. Pull the wheel off of the axle.
4. Use a 1/2-in. socket and ratchet to remove the four bolts that hold the two-piece wheel together. The rim
separates into two pieces.
5. Remove the old tube and/or tyre and replace with new tube or tyre.
6. Place the rim halves together and reinstall bolts.
7. Slide the wheel back onto the shaft and torque the nut to 16 ft.-lbs.
8. Inflate the tyre to 30-35 psi (if pneumatic).
