I V. ASSEMBLY INITIAL ASSEMBLY Your power chair may require some assembly either before initial use or after transportation. It may also require disassembly to make some comfort adjustments. Figure 11 details those parts of the power chair that are designed to be disassembled and assembled by an end user or by a qualified caregiver before using the product or making comfort adjustments.
I V. ASSEMBLY SEAT INSTALLATION It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial operation or after transporting your power chair. Most seats are attached to the power base with the Universal Mounting System (UMS). The UMS consists of universal parts that may be attached to any medium-back or high-back seat, regardless of seat width or seat depth. The two main components are aluminum extrusions mounted to the seat base.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS After becoming familiar with your power chair’s operation, you may find the need to make some adjustments to increase your comfort, such as seat height and angle, armrest angle, foot platform height and angle, and controller position. If your power chair is equipped with a medium-back, a high-back, a reclining seat, or a power elevating seat, refer to the following information.
V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS 12. Reinstall each screw into the trapeze bars and tighten. 13. Reinstall the seat. 14. Reconnect the controller to the power pod. 15.

Pull back on the friction lock lever and rotate the seat 90° to whichever side the controller is located. 3. Push the friction lock lever forward to lock the seat in place.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING Your power chair 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.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING WARNING! If your battery charger has not been tested and approved for outdoor use, then do not expose it to adverse or extreme weather conditions. If the battery charger is exposed to adverse or extreme weather conditions, then it must be allowed to adjust to the difference in environmental conditions before use indoors. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more information. To charge the batteries using the onboard charger: 1.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) How does the charger work? The battery charger takes the standard electrical outlet voltage of 120 VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24 VDC (direct current). The power chair batteries use direct current to run your power chair. When the battery voltage is low, the charger works harder to charge the battery. As the battery voltage approaches full charge, the charger doesn’t work as hard to complete the charging cycle.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING WARNING! Corrosive chemicals contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions. Why do my new batteries seem weak? Deep-cycle batteries employ a much different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium (nicads), or in other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power, drain down their charge, and then accept a relatively quick recharge.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Jazzy 1143 Ultra is a sophisticated power chair. Like any motorized vehicle, it requires routine maintenance checks. You can perform some of these checks, but others require assistance from your authorized Pride Provider. Preventive maintenance is very important. If you follow the maintenance checks in this section as scheduled, you can help ensure that your power chair gives you years of trouble free operation.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE ! All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication. ! The body shroud has been sprayed with a clear sealant coating. You can apply a light coat of car wax to help it retain its high-gloss appearance. ! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within the battery boxes and battery well frame with the battery terminals facing inward toward each other.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Storage Your power chair should be stored in a dry place, free from temperature extremes. When storing, disconnect the batteries from the power chair. See VI. “Batteries and Charging.” WARNING! If you fail to store the unit properly, the frame can rust and the electronics can be damaged.
