GENERAL GUIDELINES  
MANDATORY! Do not operate your new power chair for the first time without completely reading  
and understanding this owner’s manual.  
Your power chair is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an extensive  
variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the power chair user. Please be aware that the final selection and  
purchasing decision regarding the type of power chair to be used is the responsibility of the power chair user, who is  
capable of making such a decision, and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).  
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the power chair  
to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride Provider in the instruction  
process for the use of the product.  
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the power chair user will need to practice operating  
the power chair in the presence of a trained attendant.Atrained attendant can be defined as a family member or care  
professional specially trained in assisting a power chair user in various daily living activities.  
As you begin using your power chair during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will need  
some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways,  
on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.  
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed to operating your  
power chair safely.  
Modifications  
Pride has designed and engineered your power chair to provide maximum mobility and utility.Awide range of accessories  
is available from your authorized Pride Provider to further customize your power chair to better suit your needs and/or  
preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or disable any feature, part, or function  
of your power chair.  
WARNING! Do not modify your power chair in any way not authorized by Pride. Do not use  
accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride products.  
Pre-Ride Safety Check  
Get to know the feel of your power chair and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before  
each use to make sure your power chair operates smoothly and safely.  
Perform the following inspections prior to using your power chair:  
! Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed35 psi (2.4 bar) in each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires.  
! Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.  
! Check all controller connections to the power base. Make sure they are secured properly.  
! Check the brakes. See IX. “Care and Maintenance.”  
! Check battery charge. See VIII. “Batteries and Charging.”  
NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.

Weight Limitations  
Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit.  
WARNING! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your power chair. Exceeding the weight  
capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage  
resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.  
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your power chair. Carrying passengers on your power  
chair may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.  
Tire Inflation  
If your power chair is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked regularly. Proper  
inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your power chair.  
WARNING! It is important that 35 psi (2.4 bar) tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires at all  
times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and  
overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 35 psi (2.4 bar) tire pressure in pneumatic tires at  
all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.  
WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure  
gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a  
burst tire.  
Incline Information  
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps  
may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your power chair.  
! Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.  
! Take wide swings with your power chair’s front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the power chair’s rear  
wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.  
! When driving down a ramp, keep the power chair’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a  
safely controlled descent.  
! Avoid sudden stops and starts.  
When climbing an incline, try to keep your power chair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate  
cautiously. When driving down an incline, set your power chair to the slowest speed setting and drive in the forward  
direction only. If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come  
to a complete stop by releasing the joystick, then push the joystick forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.  
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the power chair in freewheel  
mode while seated on it or standing next to it.  
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.  
Drive your power chair straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall.  
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.  
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered  
with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).  
WARNING! Never travel down an incline backward. Doing so may cause the power chair to tip.  
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.  
WARNING! If your power chair is equipped with a reclining seatback, do not attempt to negotiate  
inclines with the seat in a reclined position. Do not attempt to negotiate obstacles with the seat  
in a reclined position unless an attendant is present to help stabilize the chair. Failure to heed  
could result in the power chair tipping over.

WARNING! Even though your power chair is capable of climbing slopes greater than those illustrated  
in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or any other  
specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your power chair.  
In compliance with theAmericans with DisabilitiesAct of 1990, all handicap public access ramps are required to have a  
maximum slope of 5° (8.7%). Therefore, Pride recommends that the maximum slope of an incline you attempt to safely  
ascend or descend on your power chair does not exceed 5° (8.7%). See figure 1.  
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° (8.7%) may put your power  
chair in an unstable position and cause it to tip.  
5 (8.7%)  
Figure 1. Maximum Safe Angle (Ascending and Descending)  
Freewheel Mode  
Your power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers to allow for manual maneuverability by a trained attendant.  
For more information about how to place your power chair into and out of freewheel mode, see III. “Your Power Chair.”  
WARNING! Do not use your power chair in freewheel mode without an attendant present.  
WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your power chair in freewheel mode while seated  
on it. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.  
WARNING! Do not place your power chair in freewheel mode while on an incline or decline. This  
could cause the chair to roll uncontrollably on its own.  
Braking Information  
Your power chair is equipped with two powerful brake systems:  
! Regenerative — uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the joystick returns to the center/stop position.  
! Disc Park Brake — activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power is  
removed from the system for any reason.  
Cornering Information  
While your power chair is equipped rear caster wheels and front anti-tip wheels, excessively high cornering speeds can still  
create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to: cornering  
speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of  
low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while  
turning), and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in  
a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your power chair from  
tipping.  
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of gravity.  
This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.

Public Streets and Roadways  
WARNING! You should not operate your power chair on public streets and roadways. Be aware  
that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your power chair. Obey all  
local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with  
extreme caution.  
Outdoor Driving Surfaces  
Your power chair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces composed  
of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface  
types. For this reason, your power chair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to  
use your power chair safely on lawns and in park areas.  
! Reduce your power chair’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.  
! Avoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.  
! Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.  
! If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.  
Inclement Weather Precautions  
Exposure of your power chair to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught  
up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your power chair, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity.  
Thoroughly dry your power chair before storing, charging, or operating your power chair.  
WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces can  
have an adverse affect on the electrical system. Maintain and store your power chair in a dry and  
clean condition.  
WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of upholstered  
and non-upholstered items on the power chair, possibly resulting in skin irritation. Exercise caution  
when using the power chair in extremely hot or cold conditions or when exposing your power  
chair to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.  
Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.)  
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches,  
stairs, etc.). Be sure your power chair is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required to navigate. See figure 2.  
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair climb or descend an obstacle that is higher  
than 2 in. (5 cm) unless you have the assistance of an attendant.  
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair proceed backward down any step, curb, or  
other obstacle. This may cause the power chair to tip.

Stairs and Escalators  
Power chairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.  
WARNING! Never use your power chair to negotiate steps or escalators.  
Doors  
! Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.  
! Drive your power chair gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your power chair gently and slowly  
backward to pull the door open.  
Elevators  
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).  
! If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the  
rubber door edge to contact the power chair and the door will reopen.  
! Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or power chair accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.  
Lift/Elevation Products  
If you will be traveling with your power chair, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in transporta-  
tion. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the  
manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.  
WARNING! Never sit on your power chair when it is being used in connection with any type of lift/  
elevation product. Your power chair was not designed with such use in mind and any damage or  
injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility of Pride.  
Motor Vehicle Transport  
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your power chair while traveling in a motor vehicle. The power chair  
should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and properly secured.  
WARNING! Do not sit on your power chair while it is in a moving vehicle.  
WARNING! Always be sure your power chair and its batteries are properly secured when it is being  
transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position and protective caps should be  
installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be transported with any flammable or  
combustible items.  
Positioning Belts  
Your authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your re-  
quirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your power chair safely.  
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your power chair, make sure it is  
fastened securely in order to reduce the possibility of a fall from the power chair.  
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is  
your power chair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should be  
properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.

Batteries  
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more  
information about your power chair’s batteries, seeVIII. “Batteries and Charging.”  
WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that  
much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting beyond your  
capacity.  
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.  
Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling.  
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging  
a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.  
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables must be connected  
to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must be connected to negative (-) battery  
terminals/posts. Protective caps should be installed over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables  
immediately if damaged.  
Removable Parts  
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable parts, including the  
armrests, seat, foot riggings, controller, and shrouds.  
Preventing Unintended Movement  
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time,  
turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent joystick contact. This  
will also eliminate the possibility of unintended chair movement from electromagnetic (EM) sources.  
Reaching and Bending  
Never reach, lean, or bend while driving your power chair. If it is absolutely necessary to reach, lean, or bend while seated  
on your power chair, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the power chair from tipping. Pride  
recommends that the power chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the  
presence of a qualified healthcare professional.  
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by  
reaching down between your knees or if you have to reach over the back of the seat. Movements  
such as these may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the power chair.  
This may cause your power chair to tip.  
WARNING! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware that loose fitting clothing  
can become caught in drive tires.

Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI)  
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves can  
have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.  
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile two-way  
radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links,  
microwave signals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some  
cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system. Every electrically-powered mobility  
vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection against EMI. This  
product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.  
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops, and other types of radio transmitters  
may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility vehicle due to EMI.  
Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your mobility vehicle and avoid  
coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.  
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered mobility vehicle  
can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your power chair in any way  
not authorized by Pride.  
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance of other  
electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.  
unintended motion or brake release occurs, turn your power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride  
at 800-424-8205 to report the incident.

Electrical Components  
The electrical components consist of the controller, the batteries, and the motors. The batteries, motors, and controller  
power module (if equipped) are located on the power base assembly. The controller is located on the seat assembly.  
Connectivity between the controller and the motors, batteries, and the battery charger is provided by one or more wiring  
harnesses. See figures 6 and 7.  
Controller Connector: This is where the controller connects to the power base. Each controller uses a different type of  
cable. Regardless of which type of controller is used, the cable must be secured to the seat assembly and not allowed to  
drag on the floor.  
Ammeter:This displays the charger’s current output in amps.  
Main Circuit Breaker: This is a safety feature built into your power chair.When the batteries 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 power chair to “rest” for approximately one minute. Then, push in the circuit breaker button, turn  
on the controller, and continue normal operation. If the main circuit breaker continues to trip repeatedly, contact your  
authorized Pride Provider.  
Charger Power Cord Receptacle: This is where the charger power cord plugs in when the batteries need to be re-  
charged.  
Battery Connectors (Quick-Connectors): These provide a connection between the battery boxes and the power base.  
Motor Connectors: These provide a connection between the motors and the power base.

Manual Freewheel Levers  
For convenience, your power chair is equipped with two manual freewheel levers—one for each motor. See figures 8 and  
9. These levers allow you to disengage the drive motors from the gearboxes and maneuver the chair manually. This is called  
freewheel mode.  
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.  
WARNING! It is important to remember that when your power chair is in freewheel mode, the  
braking system is disengaged.  
To engage or disengage the drive motors:  
1. Rotate the manual freewheel levers inward to engage the drive motors and place your power chair in drive mode. See  
figure 8.  
2. Rotate the manual freewheel levers outward to disengage the drive motors and place your power chair in freewheel  
mode. See figure 9.

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.  
NOTE: Any nylon insert lock nut removed during the disassembly or adjustment of the power chair must be  
replaced with a new nut. Nylon insert lock nuts should not be reused as it may cause damage to the nylon  
insert, resulting in a less secure fit. Replacement nylon insert lock nuts are available at local hardware stores  
or through your authorized Pride Provider.  
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. These extrusions attach to a pair of trapeze bars that are mounted to the  
power base.  
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, resulting in personal injury or damage to the chair.  
To install the seat:  
1. Set the trapeze bars to the desired height. To change the trapeze bar height, seeVI. “ComfortAdjustments.”  
2. Tilt the seat back, and slide the rear extrusion onto the rear trapeze bar. See figure 10.  
3. Lower the front extrusion onto the front trapeze bar until the seat locks into place.  
4. Flip the seat latch safety down. See figure 11.  
WARNING! Make sure the seat latch safety is flipped down before using your power chair.  
5. Install the controller into one of the armrests. SeeVI. “ComfortAdjustments.”  
6. Route the controller cable so that it cannot be pinched in the seat hinge and plug the cable into the controller connector  
on the electronics tray.  
7. Secure the controller cable to the armrest receiver with one or more wire ties.

DISASSEMBLY  
Your power chair disassembles into eight easily transportable component assemblies with no tools required. See figure 12.  
Place the power chair in an area where there is ample space to work and move around the unit—three or more feet of  
clearance on all sides. Make sure the unit is powered off before disassembling the chair.  
WARNING! Even though no tools are required to disassemble or assemble your power chair, you  
should take care not to place your hands or fingers on the areas of the component assemblies  
where they may be pinched, as the assemblies “snap” together or “snap” apart.  
WARNING! Some power chair components are heavy. You may need assistance to lift or carry  
them. Please refer to the specifications table for specific component weights before you  
disassemble the power chair.  
NOTE: During both the disassembly and the assembly of your power chair, you may find it helpful to engage  
the drive motors to secure the unit from rolling. See III. “Your Power Chair.”

VSI ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER  
The electronic controller is what you use to operate your power chair. The electronic controller enables you to move the  
power chair, as well as monitor battery charge, electronic controller functions, and the condition of your electrical system.  
TheVSI is an integral electronic controller.All of the electronics necessary to operate the power chair are contained in one  
module. See figure 30. Typically, theVSI is mounted to one of the armrests and is connected to the motors, batteries, and  
the onboard battery charger at the power base. The VSI may be used to control some optional systems such as power  
elevating seats and lights.  
The controller supplied with your power chair has been pre-programmed to meet your needs. The program is set using  
either a personal computer with software provided by the controller manufacturer or with a hand-held programmer, also  
provided by the controller manufacturer.  
WARNING! The controller program can affect speed, acceleration, deceleration, and braking. If it  
is programmed incorrectly or outside of the safe limits as determined by your healthcare  
professional, it can create a dangerous situation. Only the power chair manufacturer, an authorized  
representative of the manufacturer, or a trained service technician should program the controller.  
The VSI consists of:  
1. joystick  
2. keypad  
3. off-board charger/programming socket  
4. actuator connector (optional)  
5. controller connector  
6. charger inhibit connector  
Joystick  
The joystick controls the direction and speed of  
your power chair. When you move the joystick  
from the neutral (center) position, the electro-  
magnetic brakes release and allow your power  
chair to move. The farther you push the joystick  
from its neutral position, the faster your power  
chair moves. When you release the joystick and  
Figure 30.VSI Controller  
allow it to return to the neutral position, you  
engage the electromagnetic brakes. This causes  
your power chair to decelerate and come to a  
complete stop.  
WARNING! If your power chair begins to move in an unexpected manner, immediately release the  
joystick. Unless the joystick is damaged, this action should stop your power chair.  
Keypad  
The keypad is located in front of the joystick. It contains keys necessary to operate your power chair. See figure 31.

On/Off Key  
The on/off key turns the VSI on and off.  
WARNING! Unless faced with an emergency  
situation, do not use the on/off key to stop  
the power chair. This will cause the power  
chair to stop abruptly.  
WARNING! Always turn the power off when  
you are stationary to prevent unexpected  
movement.  
Battery Condition Meter  
The battery condition meter is a 10-segment illuminated display  
located in front of the joystick. It consists of red, yellow, and  
green lights. When the lights are on, it indicates that there is  
power to the VSI. The lights also indicate battery status, VSI  
operational status, and electrical system status.  
! Red, yellow, and green lights lit: Batteries charged;VSI  
operational, and electrical system OK.  
! Red and yellow lights lit: Charge batteries if possible;  
VSI operational, and electrical system OK.  
! Red lights only lit or slow flash: Charge batteries as  
soonaspossible;VSIoperational, andelectricalsystemOK.  
Figure 31.VSI Controller Keypad  
NOTE: When the batteries approach a discharged state,  
the first red light will begin to slowly flash, reminding you the batteries need to be charged immediately!  
! Rapid flash of lights: Indicates a fault in the VSI or the electrical system. Refer to “VSI Error Codes.”  
! Ripple side to side of lights: The joystick was not in the neutral position when the controller was turned on. If you  
get “ripple side to side of lights,” turn off the controller, allow the joystick to return to the neutral position, then turn on  
the controller.  
NOTE: If you still get ripple side to side of lights,contact your authorized Pride Provider.  
Speed/Profile Keys  
The speed/profile keys control either the speed setting or the drive profile. Press the speed/profile increase key to increase  
the speed setting or change the drive profile to a higher number. Press the speed/profile decrease key to decrease the  
speed setting or change the drive profile to a lower number.The speed setting or drive profile is displayed on the maximum  
speed/profile indicator. If your power chair was programmed with a drive profile, contact your authorized Pride Provider  
for more information.  
NOTE: We recommend that the first few times you operate your power chair, you use the lowest speed setting  
until you become familiar with your new power chair.  
Actuator Keys and Actuator Lights (For Optional Equipment)  
Actuator keys and actuator lights are used for optional equipment such as power elevating seats or power elevating leg  
rests. For specific operation of the actuator keys and actuator lights, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

Thermal Rollback  
TheVSI controller is equipped with a thermal rollback circuit.This circuit monitors the temperature of the controller, which  
roughly translates to motor temperature. In the event that the VSI controller becomes excessively hot (above 140° F),  
motor current (amperage) is reduced. For every degree above 140° F, the motor current limit is reduced by .55 amps until  
the VSI controller reaches 158° F, at which time the current output is reduced to zero. This reduces your power chair’s  
“power,” which could also reduce your power chair’s speed, and allows the electrical components and motors to cool  
down. When the temperature returns to a safe level, your power chair resumes its normal operation.  
VSI Error Codes  
TheVSI controller is designed with the user’s safety as the prime consideration. It incorporates many sophisticated self-  
test features which search for potential problems at a rate of 100 times per second. If the VSI detects a problem either in  
its own circuits or in the power chair’s electrical system, it may decide to stop the power chair, depending on the severity  
of the problem. The VSI is designed to maximize the user’s safety under all normal conditions. The table below identifies  
the individual error codes. Error codes are displayed as a rapid flashing of the battery condition meter lights. If you get one  
of these error codes, contact your authorized Pride Provider.

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.  
Automotive batteries are not designed to handle a long, deep discharge, and also are unsafe for use in power chairs.  
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.  
Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling.  
WARNING! Contact your authorized Pride Dealer if you have any questions regarding the batteries  
in your power chair.  
WARNING! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry, and amp-hour (Ah) capacity.  
Refer to specifications table in this manual and in the manual supplied with the battery charger  
for recommended type and capacities.  
Charging the Batteries  
The battery charger is essential in providing long life for your power chair batteries. It is designed to optimize your power  
chair’s performance by charging the batteries safely, quickly, and easily. The battery charging system consists of the battery  
charger, the charger circuit fuse, and the ammeter (onboard chargers only). The ammeter indicates the rate of charge  
necessary to fully recharge the batteries. It is also a good indication of whether or not the charger is working. The ammeter  
and the charger are only functional when the charger power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.  
PROHIBITED! Removal of grounding prong can create electrical hazard. If necessary, properly  
install an approved 3-pronged adapter to an electrical outlet having 2-pronged plug access.  
PROHIBITED! Never use an extension cord to plug in your battery charger. Plug the charger  
directly into a properly wired standard electrical outlet.  
WARNING! You must recharge your power chair’s batteries with the supplied onboard battery  
charger. Do not use an automotive-type battery charger.  
WARNING! Read the battery charging instructions in this manual and in the manual supplied with  
the battery charger before charging the batteries.  
WARNING! Do not expose the battery charger to rain or other sources of moisture unless it has  
been tested for outdoor use. Refer to the manual supplied with the battery charger for more  
information.  
WARNING! Explosive gases may be generated while charging the batteries. Keep the power chair  
and battery charger away from sources of ignition such as flames or sparks and provide adequate  
ventilation when charging the batteries.  
WARNING! Inspect the battery charger, wiring, and connectors for damage before each use.  
Contact your authorized Pride Provider if damage is found.  
WARNING! Do not attempt to open the battery charger case. If the battery charger does not  
appear to be working correctly, contact your authorized Pride Provider.  
WARNING! If the battery charger is equipped with cooling slots, then do not attempt to insert  
objects through these slots.  
WARNING! Do not allow unsupervised children to play near the power chair while the batteries  
are charging. Pride recommends that you do not charge the batteries while the power chair is  
occupied.

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. Position the rear of your power chair close to a standard electrical outlet.  
2. Be certain the controller power is turned off and the freewheel levers are in the engaged position. See III. “Your Power  
Chair.”  
3. Plug the charger power cord into the charger power cord receptacle on the power base, then into the electrical outlet.  
NOTE: The power chair incorporates an inhibit function that disables the power chair when the charger is  
plugged into an electrical outlet.  
4. We recommend you charge the batteries for 8 to 14 hours.As the batteries charge, the ammeter needle slowly drops to 0.  
NOTE: The ammeter indicates how much charge is needed to fully charge the batteries. As the batteries  
charge, the ammeter needle slowly drops to 0. When the batteries are fully charged, the needle vibrates on or  
about the 0 mark on the ammeter.  
5. When your power chair’s batteries are fully charged, disconnect the charger power cord, wind up the cord, and store  
it in a safe place.  
Battery Break-in  
To break in new batteries for maximum efficiency:  
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This brings the battery up to about 90% of its peak performance  
level.  
2. Operate your power chair throughout the house and yard. Move slowly at first, and do not travel too far until you  
become accustomed to the controls and break in the batteries.  
3. Give the batteries another full charge of 8 to 14 hours and operate your power chair again. The batteries will now  
perform at over 90% of their potential.  
4. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries will top off at 100% charge and last for an extended period.  
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)  
Howdoesthechargerwork?  
The battery charger takes the standard electrical outlet voltage of 120VAC (alternating current) and converts it to 24VDC  
(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. When the battery is fully charged, the amperage from the charger is nearly at zero.  
This is how the charger maintains a charge but does not overcharge the battery.  
CanIuseadifferentbatterycharger?  
You should use the charger supplied with the power chair. It is the safest, most efficient tool to charge the batteries. We do  
not recommend using other types of chargers (e.g., an automotive battery charger).

NOTE: Your power chairs charger will not operate after the batteries have been discharged to nearly zero  
voltage. If this happens, call your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.  
HowoftenmustIchargethebatteries?  
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. It is recommended that you charge the  
batteries 8 to 14 hours after daily use.  
! InfrequentUse  
If you use your power chair infrequently (once a week or less), you should charge the batteries at least once per week  
for 12 to 14 hours.  
NOTE: Keep your batteries fully charged and avoid deeply discharging your batteries. Do not charge the  
batteries for more than 24 hours at a charging cycle.  
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?  
Rarely do you have an ideal driving situation such as smooth, flat, hard terrain with no wind, hills, or curves. More often you  
are presented with hills, sidewalk cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves, and wind.All of these factors will  
affect the distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per  
charge:  
! Always charge the batteries fully prior to your trip.  
! Plan your trip in advance to avoid inclines if possible.  
! Limit baggage weight to essential items.  
! Try to maintain an even speed and avoid stop-and-go driving.  
What type of batteries should I use?  
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deep-cycle  
batteries that are similar in performance.  
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.AGM and Gel-Cell batteries should be charged as often as possible.  
They do not have a “memory” like nickel-cadmium batteries.  
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide a battery that best suits your power chair’s specific demands.  
Fresh batteries arrive regularly at Pride and are promptly shipped with a full charge. During shipping, the batteries encounter  
temperature extremes that may influence initial performance. Heat robs the charge from the battery, and cold slows the  
power available and extends the time needed to recharge the battery (just as with a car battery).

V I I I . B A T T E R I E S A N D C H A R G I N G  
It might take a few days for the temperature of the battery to stabilize and adjust to its new ambient temperature. More  
importantly, it will take a few “charging cycles” (a partial drain— then a full recharge) to establish the critical chemical  
balance that is essential to the battery’s peak performance and long life. It will be well worth it to take the time to break in  
your battery properly.  
How can I ensure maximum battery life?  
Afully 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.  
NOTE: The useful life of a battery is quite often a reflection of the care it receives.  
How should I store my power chair and its batteries?  
If you do not use your power chair regularly, we recommend maintaining battery vitality by charging the batteries at least  
once per week.  
If you do not plan on using your power chair for an extended period, fully charge the batteries prior to storage. Disconnect  
the battery harnesses and store the power chair in a warm, dry environment.Avoid temperature extremes, such as freezing  
and excessively hot conditions, and never attempt to charge a frozen battery.Acold or frozen battery should be warmed  
for several days prior to recharging.  
What about public transportation?  
AGM and Gel-Cell batteries are designed for application in power chairs and other mobility vehicles. These batteries are  
FederalAviationAdministration (FAA) approved, allowing safe transportation on aircraft, buses, and trains, as there is no  
danger of spillage or leakage. We suggest you contact the carrier’s ticket counter in advance to determine that carrier’s  
specific requirements.  
What about shipping?  
If you wish to use a freight company to ship your power chair to your final destination, repack your power chair in the  
original shipping container and ship the batteries in separate boxes.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Your Jazzy 100 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 mainte-  
nance 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. If you have any doubt as to your power chair’s care or operation,  
contact your authorized Pride Provider.  
WARNING! Do not service the power chair when the seat is occupied.  
Your power chair, like most electrical equipment, is susceptible to damage from the elements.Avoid damp areas of any kind.  
WARNING! Direct or prolonged exposure to water or dampness could cause the power chair to  
malfunction electronically and mechanically. Water can cause electrical components to corrode  
and the chair’s frame to rust. Power chairs should be examined periodically for signs of corrosion  
cause by water exposure, bodily fluids exposure, or incontinence. Damaged components should  
be replaced or treated immediately.  
Should your power chair come in contact with water:  
1. Dry your power chair as thoroughly as possible with a towel.  
2. Allow your power chair to sit in a warm, dry place for 12 hours to allow unseen water to evaporate.  
3. Check the joystick operation and the brakes before using your power chair again.  
4. If any inconsistencies are found, take your power chair to your authorized Pride Provider. Power chairs that are  
frequently exposed to sources of water, such as incontinence, should be inspected often for corrosion and electronic  
components may need to be replaced frequently.  
Temperature  
! Some of the parts of your power chair are susceptible to extreme changes in temperature.Always keep your power  
chair between the temperatures of 18° F and 122° F.  
! In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific temperature at which they freeze depends on a  
number of factors, such as battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries (e.g.,AGM or Gel-Cell).  
! Temperatures above 122° F may cause your power chair to operate at a reduced speed. This reduced speed is a  
safety feature built into the controller that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical components.  
General Guidelines  
! Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.  
! Avoid prolonged exposure of your power chair to extreme conditions, such as heat, cold, or moisture.  
! Keep the controller clean.  
! Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.  
! Make sure the pneumatic tires are inflated to 35 psi (2.4 bar) if equipped with pneumatic tires..  
WARNING! Make sure your tires are inflated to 35 psi (2.4 bar). Do not underinflate or overinflate  
your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Overinflating  
tires can cause them to explode.  
WARNING! Do not use a high pressure hose to inflate your tires.  
! Use a rubber conditioner on the tire sidewalls to help preserve them.  
WARNING! Never use a rubber conditioner on the tread area of the tires; doing so may make the  
tires slippery and cause your power chair to skid.

! 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. Refer to the battery wiring  
label for the correct wiring layout.  
WARNING! Even though the power chair has passed the necessary testing requirements for ingress  
of liquids, you should keep electrical connections away from sources of dampness, including  
direct exposure to water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical components frequently  
for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.  
! All wheel bearings are prelubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.  
Daily Checks  
! With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the neutral  
position when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage.Visually inspect the boot.  
Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.  
! Visually inspect the controller communications cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has any wires exposed.  
See your authorized Pride Provider if there is a problem.  
! Check for flat spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.  
Weekly Checks  
! Disconnect and inspect the controller cable and the charger harness from the power base. Look for corrosion. Contact  
your authorized Pride Provider if necessary.  
! Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your power chair. Do not overtighten any screws.  
! Check for proper tire inflation. There should be 35 psi (2.4 bar) in each tire. If a tire does not hold air, see your  
authorized Pride Provider for replacement of the tube.  
! Check the brakes.This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least 3 feet of clearance around your power chair.  
To check the brakes:  
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed level of your power chair.  
2. After one second, check the battery condition meter. Make sure that it remains on.  
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click. Immediately release the joystick.You must be  
able to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement. Repeat this test three times,  
pushing the joystick backward, then left, and then right.  
Monthly Checks  
! Check that the anti-tip wheels do not rub the ground when you operate the power chair.Adjust them as necessary.  
! Check for extreme wear on the anti-tip wheels. Replace them as necessary.  
! Check for drive tire wear. See your authorized Pride Provider for repair.  
! Check the caster wheels for wear. Replace them as necessary.  
! Check the caster forks for damage or fluttering which indicates that they may need to be adjusted or have the bearings  
replaced. See your authorized Pride Provider for repair.  
! Keep your power chair clean and free of foreign material, such as mud, dirt, hair, food, drink, etc.  
Yearly Checks

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.  
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures, or stored without  
a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is recommended that  
you charge the batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure proper performance.  
You may wish to place several boards under the frame of your power chair to raise it off of the ground during periods of  
prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the  
tires contacting the ground.  
Disposal of Your Power Chair  
Your power chair must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact your local  
waste disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for information on proper disposal of power chair packaging, metal  
frame components, plastic components, electronics, and batteries.  
Cleaning and Disinfection  
! Use a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleanser to clean the plastic and metal parts of your power chair. Avoid using  
products that may scratch the surface of your power chair.  
! If necessary, clean your product with an approved disinfectant. Make sure the disinfectant is safe for use on your  
product before application.  
WARNING! Follow all safety instructions for the proper use of the disinfectant and/or cleaning  
agent before applying it to your product. Failure to comply may result in skin irritation or premature  
deterioration of upholstery and/or power chair finishes.  
WARNING! Never hose off your power chair or place it in direct contact with water. Your power  
chair has a painted, ABS plastic body shroud that allows it to be easily wiped clean with a damp  
cloth.  
WARNING! Never use any chemicals to clean a vinyl seat, as they may cause the seat to become  
slippery or dry out and crack. Use soapy water and dry the seat thoroughly.  
Wheel Replacement  
If you have pneumatic tires and you have a flat tire, replace the tube. If your chair is equipped with a solid tire insert, then  
you must replace the whole wheel assembly. Replacement tires, tubes, and wheel assemblies are readily available through  
your authorized Pride Provider.  
WARNING! The wheels on your power chair should only be serviced or replaced by an authorized  
Pride Provider or a qualified technician.  
WARNING! Be sure that the controller’s power is turned off and the power chair is not in freewheel  
mode before performing this procedure.  
WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut and washer, then remove the  
wheel. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tire completely or it may explode.
