III. YOUR POWER CHAIR THE JAZZY SELECT 14 SERIES Your power chair has two main assemblies: the seat assembly and the power base assembly. See figure 5. Typically, the seating system includes the armrests, the seatback, the seat base, and the controller. The power base assembly includes two drive wheels, two anti-tip wheels, two rear caster wheels, a body shroud, and the electrical connectors. See figures 5 and 6.
III. YOUR POWER CHAIR Electrical Components The electrical components are located on or inside the power base. The controller connector and circuit breaker are located on the electronics tray. The power module is located inside the power base. See figure 6. Controller Connector: This is where the controller connects to the power base. Each controller uses a different type of harness.
III. YOUR POWER CHAIR Manual Freewheel Levers Your power chair has a manual freewheel lever on each motor. Manual freewheel levers enable you to disengage the drive motors from the gearboxes and maneuver the chair manually. WARNING! Do not use the power chair while the drive motors are disengaged! Do not disengage the drive motors when the power chair is on an incline or decline, as the unit could roll on its own. Only engage the freewheel mode when on a level surface.
IV. 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 9 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.
IV. ASSEMBLY Seat Installation It may be necessary to install the seat either prior to initial operation or after transporting your power chair. WARNING! Do not pick up the seat frame by the armrests. They are free to pivot, and you may lose control of the seat if they do so. To install the seat: 1. Set the seat on the seat tower. See figure 10. 2. Push the seat down until the latch engages. 3. Install the controller into one of the armrests. Tighten the setscrew. See figure 10. 4.
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. NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with a Specialty Seat or Synergy Seat, refer to the information provided in separate manuals.

V. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS Anti-Tip Wheel Adjustment The anti-tip wheels are designed to give your power chair increased stability on rough surfaces. The anti-tip wheels are preset for smooth surfaces or indoor use only. If you plan on using your power chair on rough surfaces, it may be necessary to adjust the anti-tip wheels to better suit your needs. The anti-tip wheels may need adjustment if either of the following occurs: When coming to a stop, your power chair tips forward excessively.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING BATTERIES AND CHARGING The Jazzy Select 14 Series 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 To charge the batteries with the off-board charger: 1. Position your power chair next to a standard electrical outlet. See figure 19. 2. Turn off the power to the controller and engage the manual freewheel lever(s) in the drive position. See III. “Your Power Chair.” 3. Plug the off-board charger into the off-board charger socket on the controller. 4. Plug the off-board charger into the electrical outlet. See figure 19.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How often must I charge the batteries? Many factors come into play when deciding how often to charge the batteries. You may use your power chair all day on a daily basis or you may not use it for weeks at a time. Daily Use If you use your power chair on a daily basis, charge the batteries as soon as you are finished using your power chair. Your power chair will be ready each morning to give you a full day’s service.
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING How can I ensure maximum battery life? A fully charged deep-cycle battery will provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your power chair’s batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable power chair operation and limited battery life.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Jazzy Select 14 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 tray, with the battery terminals facing inward, toward each other.
VII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Yearly Checks Take your power chair to your authorized Pride Provider for yearly maintenance, especially if you use your power chair on a regular basis. This helps ensure that your power chair is functioning properly and helps prevent future complications. 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.
