WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.

Wash hands after handling.

BATTERIES

The Jazzy uses two long-lasting, 12-volt, deep-cycle batteries. These batteries are sealed and maintenance

free. Since they are sealed, there is no need to check the electrolyte (fluid) level. Deep-cycle batteries are

designed to handle a longer and deeper discharge. Though they are similar in appearance to automotive

batteries, they are not interchangeable. Automotive batteries are not designed to handle a long, deep dis-

charge, and also are unsafe for use in power chairs.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your Jazzy batteries. The battery charger is de-

signed to optimize your Jazzys performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily. The

charging system consists of the charger, the charger fuse, and the ammeter. The onboard charger is located

underneath the electronics tray. The ammeter is located on the electronics tray for easy viewing. The charger

has an in-line fuse that protects the ammeter. The ammeter indicates the rate of charge necessary to fully

recharge the batteries. It is also a good indication of whether or not the charger is working. The ammeter

and the charger are only functional when the charger power cord is plugged into a wall outlet.

WARNING! You must recharge your Jazzys batteries with the supplied onboard or off-board

charging system. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.

WARNING! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger directly

into a properly wired standard wall outlet.

To charge the batteries using the onboard charger:

1. Position the rear of your Jazzy close to a standard wall outlet.

2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the engaged position. See

III. Your Power Chair.

3. Extend the charger AC power cord and plug it into the wall outlet. The Jazzy incorporates an inhibit

function that disables the power chair when the charger is plugged into a wall outlet.

4. The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. Wait about a minute

for the charger to warm up. The ammeter may move as high as 5.5 amps, then gradually move back

down to 0 amps as the batteries charge.

5. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours. As the batteries charge, the ammeter

needle slowly drops to 0. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or about the 0

mark on the ammeter scale.

6. When your Jazzys batteries are fully charged, wind up the charger AC power cord using the hook

and loop strap and place the cord back into the Jazzys electronics tray.
