POWER ELEVATING SEAT OPTION
Your Jazzy may be equipped with a power elevating seat. This feature can enhance the capabilities of the Jazzy in
several ways:
n By elevating the seat, your level of reach is extended to allow more freedom and independence in many
environments.
n You can easily adjust the Jazzy’s seat height to any surface to which you want to transfer. The seat swivels 90
degrees to whichever side the joystick is located.
n By raising your seat, you are closer to the eye level of standing persons. This provides better interaction.
For all the benefits your elevating seat can provide you, there are limitations. The following precautions must be
observed in order to assure safe use of the Jazzy Elevating Seat option.
n Read and understand this owner’s manual thoroughly before operating the Jazzy.
n The power seat option is intended for use on a level surface only.
n Always fasten the seat belt when operating the elevating seat. Your Jazzy’s power elevating seat is equipped
with a system that reduces the power chair’s speed by one half whenever the seat is elevated more than
2.5-5 cm. Always check to be sure this system is operating properly before using your Jazzy.
n Operate the Jazzy only on a flat level surface whenever the elevating seat is raised from its lowest position.
WARNING! Never raise the seat from its lowest position on an inclined surface. Failure to heed this
warning can result in the Jazzy tipping over and causing injury.
WARNING! Never raise the seat from its lowest position when operating your Jazzy on bumpy or
uneven surfaces. Failure to heed this warning can result in the Jazzy tipping over and causing
injury.
WARNING! Never raise the power elevating seat while your Jazzy is in the freewheel mode.
