Jazzy 1170XL
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your power chair, make sure
it is fastened securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the power chair.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle.
Nor is your Jazzy suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle
should be properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING! Do not sit on your power chair while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury
and/or property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your power chair and its batteries are properly secured when
it is being transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to
your power chair.
Inclement Weather Precautions
Exposure of your power chair to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If
suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your power chair proceed to shelter at
the earliest oppurtunity. Thoroughly dry your power chair before storing, charging, or operating your power
chair.
WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces
can cause personal injury and/or damage to the power chair and electrical system.
Maintain and store your power chair in a dry and clean condition.
Reaching and Bending
Never reach, lean, or bend while driving your power chair. If it is absolutely necessary to reach, lean, or
bend while seated on your power chair, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the
power chair from tipping. Pride recommends that the power chair user determine his/her personal limita-
tions and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by
reaching down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity
and the weight distribution of the power chair. This may cause your power chair to tip, possibly
resulting in personal injury. Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.

In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
For more information about your power chairs batteries, see V. Batteries and Charging.
WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that
much weight, be sure to get help. Lifting beyond your capacity can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging
a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
