7 Jazzy 1103
PUBLIC ROADS AND PARKING LOTS
WARNING: Do not operate your Jazzy 1103 on public streets and roadways. Please
be aware it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated in your
Jazzy. To ensure your safety, always assume you cannot be seen. Obey all local
pedestrian traffic rules. Safety accessories like reflectors, fluorescent flags, and
various lighting packages are available to order from your Pride provider.
STEPS AND KERBS
l Do not attempt to climb a step or kerb higher than 3 cm.
l Always have assistance when attempting to climb a step or kerb lower than 3 cm.
l Never attempt to proceed backwards down any step, kerb, or other obstacle. Doing so could cause the
Jazzy 1103 to tip.
INCLINES AND UNEVEN TERRAIN
When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline. Drive your Jazzy straight up
the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. Always exercise extreme caution when navigating an
incline.
l Never travel up or down an incline that can be potentially hazardous (e.g., areas covered with snow, ice, wet
leaves, or cut grass).
l When climbing an incline, try to keep the chair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and accelerate
cautiously.
When moving down an incline, do so slowly and in the forward direction only. If your Jazzy 1103 starts to move
faster than you anticipated, allow the unit to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick. Then push the
joystick forward slightly and continue traveling down the incline.
MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE
Pride has performed extensive incline testing with your Jazzy 1103. Our results have shown that the maximum
incline you can climb is 8.7% grade at maximum weight capacity. An 8.7% grade is the angle of most handicap
access ramps. Any attempt to climb a steeper slope may put your Jazzy in an unstable position.
