II. SAFETY
Positioning Belts
Your authorized Pride provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your requirement 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. Serious personal injury may result if you 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 Jazzy 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.
WARNING! Do not sit on your power chair while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or
property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your power chair and its batteries are properly secured when it is being
transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.
Inclement Weather Precautions
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not operate your power chair in icy or slippery condi-
tions or on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads). Such use may adversely affect the performance
and safety of your power chair, resulting in an accident and personal injury.
WARNING! Do not expose your power chair to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist,
or wash). Such exposure can damage your power chair. Never operate your power chair if it has
been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
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. 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, possibly resulting in personal injury.
Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.
Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more information about
your power chairs batteries, see VI. 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. Lifting beyond your capacity can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash
hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen
battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery. Attempting to charge a battery in
freezing conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.
