Your Jazzy 1120
2000
is a state-of-the-art, life-enhancement device designed to increase your mobility. There are
certain situations, including some medical conditions, where you will need to practice operating your Jazzy in the
presence of an attendant. Below are some safety tips that are designed to help you become accustomed to oper-
ating your new Jazzy safely.
WARNING! Your Jazzy is a motorized vehicle. When you are seated in your Jazzy and you
anticipate that you are going to be in a stationary position for an extended period of time,
turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected chair movement from inadvertent con-
tact between the end user and joystick.
TRANSFERS
Transferring onto and off of your Jazzy requires a good sense of balance. Be sure to have an attendant or health
care professional present while learning to properly transfer yourself. To eliminate the possibility of injury, we ask
that you verify the following before attempting a transfer:
n Be sure the power is turned off. See VIII. “Operation.”
n Be sure your Jazzy is not in freewheel mode. See IV. “The Jazzy 1120
2000
.”
n Make sure the armrests are flipped up or removed from your Jazzy.
n Flip the footrest up or move the leg rests aside; this helps to keep your feet from getting caught on the footrest
or on the leg rests during the transfer.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. This may cause the Jazzy to
tip which may result in injury.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
As of this date, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport
a user while in a power chair.
WARNING! Always be sure your Jazzy power chair is properly secured when it is being transported.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Jazzy.
WARNING! Pride does not recommend power chair users to be transported in vehicles while
seated in their power chairs. Personal injury may result.
Although your Jazzy may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt was not designed with the intent of providing
proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured
into his/her seat with seat belts approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Jazzy 1120
2000
is rated for a maximum 300-lb. weight limit.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in personal injury.
