JAZZY OPERATION/CONTROLLER

You control the speed and direction of your Jazzy by moving the joystick.

To operate your Jazzy:

1. Turn it on (push the on/off button). The battery condition meter lights, indicating the present charge of your

battery.

2. Push the joystick in the direction you wish to move. The farther you push the joystick from the neutral (center)

position, the faster the Jazzy 1143 moves.

JOYSTICK CONTROLLER

The controller translates the speed and directional information

from the joystick for the motors. It has self-diagnostic features

that are designed to search for potential problems at the rate of

100 times per second. If the controller detects a problem in the

wheelchair’s electrical system, the power chair may, depending

on the severity of the problem, stop functioning. (See “Trouble

Codes.”)

The controller is designed to maximise user safety under normal

operating conditions. This controller, however, cannot take into

account circumstances that put the Jazzy 1143 outside of its nor-

mal operating environment as described within this manual. It is

very important that you follow the precautions described within this manual.

PILOT CONTROLLER

The Jazzy 1143 is currently available with the Pilot controller. The Pilot controller is located directly underneath

the joystick—on the seat arm. See figure 14. The Pilot controller is connected to the motors, batteries, and

battery charger through two connectors on the electronics connector housing. See figure 3.
