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
WARNING! Do not attempt to climb a step or kerb higher than 3 cm. 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, try to keep the chair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and accelerate
cautiously.
WARNING! 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. Never travel up or down an incline that can
be potentially hazardous (e.g., areas covered with snow, ice, wet leaves, or cut grass).
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.
