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:
n
By elevating the seat, your level of reach is extended, to allow
more freedom and independence in many environments.
n
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.
n
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.
n
Read and understand this owner’s manual thoroughly before
operating the Jazzy.
n
The power seat option is intended for use on a level surface only.
n
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.
n
Operate the Jazzy only on a flat level surface whenever the
elevating seat is raised from its lowest position.
WARNING! 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 16.
Before activating your Jazzy power elevating seat, be sure you are on a flat level surface. To raise the power
elevating seat, push the toggle switch forward. See figure 16. Releasing the toggle switch returns the switch to its
center position and stops upward movement. To continue your lift, push the toggle switch forward again. Once the
seat reaches its highest extension, the lift action stops; you should continue to hear and/or feel the lift motor running.
This is because there is a clutch mechanism that allows the motor to continue running after the lift has reached its
limit. This clutch works at both the top and bottom extensions of the lift. In order to prolong the life of your lift
mechanism, please do not allow the motor to run more than a few seconds after the mechanism reaches the top or
bottom limit. To return the seat to its lowest position, pull the toggle switch toward you. Releasing it stops the motor.
When returning to the lowest position, always be sure that the mechanism has reached its lowest limit.
To use the swivel feature, locate the swivel lever under the seat. It is located on the opposite side of the joystick. Push
down on the lever and the seat can be swiveled 90 degrees.
WARNING! 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.
