Pride Jazzy 1113 Power Chair - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Check the controller connections and the circuit breaker.

If your chair was only charged once and sat for a year you will no doubt need new batteries

Just recheck your wiring. If there's 2 batteries, then starting from one side....positive to scooter, then neg from this battery linked to pos on next battery, then negative to scooter.

That is possible. Check the power circuit from the battery and see if there is any loose connections or resistance in the circuit via the voltage drop method. Here are some links that may help: Jazzy 1113 ATS Parts Redirect Notice Redirect Notice

Either the charger is bad or the batteries are too old. If the batteries are allowed to go dead completely the 24 volt charger will not recover. You'll need to seperate the batteroes and use a 12 volt automotive charger to charge the batteries. Make sure the 12volt charger is able to charge gell cell batteries. Not all will.

7 year old batteries are too old. They will never charge fully. Replace both batteries at the same time.

The voltmeter should read 29 volts when on. You should never replace one battery and leave an old battery in the chair. Replace them both at the same time.

That controller is expensive and needs to be reprogrammed after repairs. I'd let a service and repair center do the work. You just can't jump in and fix it yourself without that programmer.

Check the charger to see if it works.

The controller has some bad components in it. Have a service center check it.

Go to Pride's website to download the service manual. It has more information on the causes that the owners manual has.

I don't have a Jazzy 1113 ... mine is a jet 3 ultra and the controls seem to be identlcal and it too acts similarly particularly if I come to an abrupt stop by hitting an unseen object on the floor or a slightly raised threshold. What I do is turn it off (power button) and after a few seconds turn it back on and find that the chair is ready to go again then I back up to see what that I hit. The chair is very sensitive to approaching a threshold and the correct method is not to do it at an angle but in a direct (not angular) fashion. Hope it helps, Joe

Hi Randy, I have a jet 3 ultra which looks similar to your jazzy and the indication of six flashes says; 'the power chair is being inhibited by the battery charger.Unplug the battery charger.' I can find no more detail relating to this so whether you wait a while before reconnecting I do not know. A link to the manual for your chair is here for downloading; http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CCUQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pridemobility.com%2Fpdf%2FOwners_Manuals%2FUS_Jazzy%2FUS_Jazzy_1113_ATS_om.pdf&ei=yHk8VKCABIGD8gX044GYCA&usg=AFQjCNFgl8AbsrG2Kx-HWpnpR_WL35f_kw&sig2=31yJQkWKKHPa4zlWAJtRLg&bvm=bv.77161500,d.dGc Best of luck.

Need more info about the control switch. Also what is the problem?

The VSI controller (the unit that contains the joystick) may have gotten wet. If you can take it apart and dry it out it may fix it. That has worked for me. Most times, I wound up replacing the controller. Rebuilds seemed to work fine and were much less expensive.

Gel Cell is always better

If you have the swing on footrests or legrests for a Pride Jazzy series with 2-pins on the hanger brackets please be sure that the hanger brackets are properly installed on the chair with the pin side of the bracket facing to the outside - not inside. To put the footrests on - align the lower pin first with the footrest at a 45 degree angle to the outside of the chair. Then align up the top pin and lower the footrest onto the hanger bracket. Rotate the footrest towards the front and lock the cam lock in place. If the cam lock has a handle that is bent it will interfere with the lock and need to be replaced or bent back in place.

I had a same problem but worked fine when I installed mackeper. Its easy to remove errors you may have which slowed it. Try it out and let us know the outcome. Here is the download link to it. Good Luck http://bit.ly/1aHCD0n

It appears that the controls are in Lock Mode. Unlocking Instructions depend on your type of controller. Go to PrideMobility.com to download the proper manuals for chair and controller.
