POWER ELEVATING SEAT OPTION
Your Jazzy may be equipped with a power elevating seat option. This feature can enhance the capabilities of the
Jazzy in several ways:
By elevating the seat, your level of reach is extended, to allow more freedom and independence in many environ-
ments.
You can easily adjust the Jazzy’s seat height to any surface to which you want to transfer. The seat swivels 90
degrees to whichever side the joystick is located.
By raising your seat, you are closer to the eye level of standing persons. This provides better interaction.
For all the benefits your elevating seat can provide you, there are limitations. The following precautions must
be observed in order to assure safe use of the Jazzy elevating seat option.
l Read and understand this owner’s manual thoroughly before operating the Jazzy.
l The power seat option is intended for use on a level surface only.
l Always fasten the seat belt when operating the elevating seat. Your Jazzy’s power elevating seat is equipped
with a system that reduces the power chair’s speed by one half whenever the seat is elevated more than 2.5-
5 cm. Always check to be sure this system is operating properly before using your Jazzy.
l Never raise the seat from its lowest position on an inclined surface. Failure to heed this warning can result in
the Jazzy tipping over and causing injury.
l Never raise the seat from its lowest position when operating your Jazzy on bumpy or uneven surfaces. Failure
to heed this warning can result in the Jazzy tipping over and causing injury.
l Operate the Jazzy only on a flat level surface whenever the elevating seat is raised from its lowest position.
l Never raise the power elevating seat while your Jazzy is in the freewheel mode.
Your Jazzy power elevating seat can be activated by using the toggle switch located close to your joystick. See
figure 15.
