n 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.
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and are not corroded. Batteries must sit flat within
the battery area, with the battery terminals facing inward toward each other. Refer to the frame decal for the
correct wiring layout.
n All wheel bearings are pre-lubricated and sealed. They require no subsequent lubrication.
DAILY CHECKS
n With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or damaged and that it returns to the
center when you release it. Check the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect
the boot only. Do not handle or try to repair it. See your authorised Pride provider if there is a problem.
n Visually inspect the controller harnesses. Make sure that they are not frayed or cut or have any wires exposed.
See your authorised Pride provider if there is a problem with any of these harnesses.
WEEKLY CHECKS
n Disconnect and inspect the controller and charger harnesses from the electronics connector housing. Look for
corrosion. Contact your authorised Pride provider if necessary.
n Ensure that all parts of the controller system are securely fastened to your Jazzy. Do not overtighten any screws.
n Check for proper tyre inflation; there should be 30-35 psi in each tyre. If a tyre will not hold air, see an
authorised Pride provider for replacement of the tube.
n Check the brakes. This test should be carried out on a level surface with at least one meter of clearance around
your Jazzy.
To check the brakes:
1. Turn on the controller and turn down the speed control.
2. After one second, check the battery gauge. Make sure that it remains on.
3. Slowly push the joystick forward until you hear the electric brakes click.
NOTE: The Jazzy may move when performing this test. Immediately release the joystick. You must be able
to hear each electrical brake operating within a few seconds of joystick movement.
4. Repeat this test three times, pushing the joystick backwards, left, and right.
