Ammeter: The ammeter displays the charger’s current output in amps. For more information, see VI. “Batteries
and Charging.”
Battery charger power lead outlet: This is where your battery charger power lead plugs in. For more
information, see VI. “Batteries and Charging”.
Main circuit breaker: The main circuit breaker is a safety feature built into your Jazzy 1143. When the batter-
ies and the motors are heavily strained (e.g., from excessive loads), the main circuit breaker trips to prevent
damage to the motors and the electronics. If the circuit trips, allow the Jazzy to “rest” for approximately one minute.
Then, push the circuit breaker button in, turn the controller power back on, and continue normal operation. If the
main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your authorised Pride provider.
Joystick controller harness connectors: These are where the joystick cables connect to the power base.
FREEWHEEL LEVERS
For convenience, your Jazzy 1143 is equipped with two freewheel levers. See figure 2. These levers allow you to
disengage the drive motors and maneuver the chair manually.
To engage or disengage the drive motors:
1. Locate the two (2) metal freewheel levers protruding from the body shroud.
2. Turn them inward to engage the drive motors. See figure 4.
3. Turn them outward to disengage the drive motors. See figure 5.
If the lever is difficult to move in either direction, slightly rock the Jazzy 1143 back and forth. The lever should then
move to the desired position.
REMEMBER: When the Jazzy 1143 is in the freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
WARNING! Do not use your Jazzy while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not disengage
the drive motors when the Jazzy 1143 is on an incline, as the unit could roll on its own,
causing injury!
