- In this video, I go over all the adjustments you would need to know on a Jazzy select 6 wheelchair. The seat turn adjustment, the seat height adjustment. The lean seat adjustment. The control arm replacement ( to another side) adjustment. The control connector release. The foot height and tilt and front o back adjustment. The locking wheels to drive of freewheel setting. the arms height and tilt and width adjustments. The headrest adjustment.
Thank God I found you this is the best video I've even dreamed about seeing for this wheelchair thank you thank you thank you
Thanks. I am glad it helped. I almost did not upload this video because there was not enough light for proper filming and the video turned out too dark, but I ran it through Davinci resolve and turned up the light
This is cool, I am sure there are many viewers out there that will get lots of benefit from this video - good job!
Thank You
Thank you. Now I know how to adjust my seat and a couple of other things. Wish I had known this a year ago. Thanks again.
You are welcome.
Thank you so much!! This is much more helpful than the local medical supply place! Great video
You are welcome
Thank you so much for your well presented video. You were easy to understand and your instructions were thorough. I needed to know how to adjust the foot rest and you answered the questions. Thank you again.
Thanks. I am glad it helped.
Thank you for sharing this! It was very helpful!
Thanks. I am glad it helped
Thank you! I was able to get a used one for my son and this is so much better than trying to read how to do these adjustments with the manual. I appreciate that you made it!
Glad it helped.
So helpful! Thanks.
You are welcome
A lot of very good information thank you so much.
Thanks
Thanks, this was helpful,
You are Welcome
This is a great video. But what I didn't see is how to adjust the controller (feels like it is loose and keeps going up and down) - makes it very hard to control when using it. It also feels like it is going to come loose and fall off? Suggestions
This is not the right way but maybe you could find a good area to drill and add another screw to hold it in place, just make sure that it can not poke out and scratch someones arm.
Hello, a friend of mine drives a senior mobile. Is there a way to make the mobile a little faster? The health insurance company only offers throttled scooters, but we both have to cover completely different distances because we are not allowed to use public transport with our mobiles. We use them to go about our everyday lives, even in rain and snow. The mobile was bought privately, I also have a mobile for the 15th km is fast, you get these aids through your health insurance company, only the insurance company dictates how fast you can be, then you have endless discussions with the insurance company.
Thanks for the information and have a good new year in 2024.
I have never adjusted the speed of any of these mobile scooters other than the normal controls. I would think that there are ways to limit the top speed of many models, but keep in mind that if you were to find a way to adjust the speed and then you get in any kind of accident then you might end up fully liable for any damages from said accident So I would leave it at the normal settings. I know this is not the answer that you want to hear and I can understand wanting to go faster, but not in this case.
I have that chair, I’ve put 2 different sets of batteries in it and riding the chair for a; hour causes the battery light on the arm to drop into the yellow then red. Any thoughts on what to check. Im fully handicapped and need it 100% of the time. Thank you and god bless.
1- It could be the type of batteries you are using,
2- It could be a bad connection causing the system to use extra power just to preform. ( also if the wire has been around waster or very humid weather like wet snow or extra foggy days then the wires could has corrosion under the sheathing and that can cause a power drop.
3- It could be something is stiff causing the motors to have to work harder to make the chair go.
4- find out how long you can drive one of these without stopping before the batteries drain ( most people drive about 10 to 100 feet then stop and then go back an so on, they are not driving continuously for an hour.
Look up a home care medical equipment place in you ares and ask them how far it should go and what would be the longest life batteries to use ( these batteries will cost a lot more ) and go from there.
I wish I could tell you more but that's all I can say
Is there a way to slow the speed even more than the slow option? or do you have suggestions to lock the speed into slow speed so the operator cannot adjust it?
I think I did hear that there is a way to lock the speed at a slower limit. but I do not know how to do it.
THANK YOU
You are Welcome
Still can't get the seat back on.
Can you move the move the seat release handle from the left side to the right side for someone 6is paralyzed on the left side
I do not have that chair anymore so I can not say for sure but I would think there is a way to switch them to the other side for that very reason. I do know that the controls can be moved to the other side
I have a jazzy 1450 and need to know where to plug the cord back in on the unit not the connector in the middle from the control to the unit but the small piece to the base of the unit
I am Not sure.
i am going nuts trying to inflate the tires on my jazy select gt..i took off the hub cap..theres a warning. inflate tire before removing wheel. how? i dont see a valve stem?? help please
I do not think the model in the video had ( tube tires ) but your valve stem may be on the back of the rim.. but I am sure you looked there
OK I got one of these chairs from a friend. It needed new batteries which I bought. I’ve got everything hooked up except there is a 3 prong cord Looks like it’s coming from the armrest. It looks like it plugs in in the back by the battery but I don’t see anywhere it will fit can you tell me where those plug goes there’s one on each side
Never mind I saw where you unplugged it thank you
there should only be one set of wires ( with the switch ) you can see my disconnect it at around 35 seconds into this video. but in this other video here th-cam.com/video/ecTb9xaGT8Y/w-d-xo.html you can see me disconnect the wire and see where it goes at 0:43 so you my have to remove the front cover in order to find the wire.... if it has not been removed
I’ve bought a used jersey 1103 ultra power chair someone has programmed the speed settings so the high setting is still very slow how do you change this ? Does anyone have an answer to that question thanks?
I do not know that setting.
What makes my chair spead up slow down. Hit a bump and it slows down.
Not really sure. maybe the battery gets a shake and it has a bad spot in it that has to slowly move back into place after bump. maybe the motor is wore out and is affected by the bump. but it is most likely just a bad connection somewhere that the bump triggers
What do u do when u use the hexkey to switch the controller but it won't move? I can't remove it or move it.
I have never ran into that problem. I wish I could help but I no longer have the chair to test it out.
I have a Jazzy Select Elite. I need to replace the spring underneath that kept the chair from swiveling too much. Do you know how to help me?
I would like to help but I have never worked on that part
I have a chance to pick up a used one for 500 do you think it's a good chair?
Yeah I think it has been a good chair. and 500 is a good price for one of these. Just don't cut corners too much when purchasing the batteries.
I recently got a Jazzy Elite HD chair. It has teeny tiny anti-tip wheels in the front. Problem is, the chair easily tips forward when I go down slight ramps, even simply going from the sidewalk onto the pavement. My chair needs to go backwards so this does not happen. How can I push the seat back to prevent this from happening? I bough this as a private sale, so I do not have a dealer I can bring it to, nor is it under any warranty. (I bought it from a friend of a friend) Is there a way to move the whole chair backwards a bit? Thank you.
The arm is loose on my dad's jazzy power chair. How do I tighten it? Would really appreciate your help.
I got that chair too... but I need replacement seat leather... how I can do it... and the arm holder left side.
contact the manufacture, or find a local upholstery shop and have them recover the seat.
You may even find a broken used chair listed somewhere that you could get for the parts. ( may even find a good deal on a working one. )
Usually the manufacturer will refer you to a dealer because they do not deal directly with the public. But if you contact me, I can get you a decent price for a new seat and arm rest.
Good Morning. I have watched your video over and over. But I cant seem to figure out how to repair the armrest thats bent in a downward slant ↘. I was able to tighten the armrest but if my patient puts any pressure or weight it goes down again. Please help!
I will make a video and post it later today about ways to fix this problem
OK here is a video that may help with fixing your jazzy th-cam.com/video/JCq-4Ornwk4/w-d-xo.html
I've got a jazzy elite HD that was already configured for somebody else and I'm trying to raise the height of the arms and I use the Allen wrench to remove the screws I'm I'm trying to slide it up but it won't slide so I'm not sure I need a stronger person to pull it up or is there more than one thing keeping the height locked in. I removed the screws on the front and back on the arm height adjuster but I can't seem to get it to move but I'm also not the strongest person in the world so I was wondering if you have a suggestion or no something else I need to unscrew in order to get it to slide up and higher
1 - you can tap it with a small hammer right under the hinge ( make sure not to hit the control wire with the hammer ) you may have to hold a small amount of pressure at the end of the arm rest to keep it from lifting up while you tap at the hinge end.
2- you can also find a wrench that will fit around the pipe of the arm where it goes into the lower part and use it as leverage.
I sold the chair in this video a few months back. If I still had it I would make a video to show the steps I listed in the other reply. If you need anymore help feel free to ask.
@@fromcarstocomputers7261 Do you have an email address that perhaps I could send you photos of what the arm looks like and you can tell me what you guess I need to do to get it to go up higher

Is there a way to set the seat that you sit on so it's level because it digs into the back of your legs it makes you feel like you're going to have a heart attack after 10 minutes?
Officially there is no adjustment for that. But unofficially I'm sure you could put some washers in there and lift it up just make sure the Bolt is still long enough to catch threads properly in other words if you raise it a quarter inch get a bolt 1/4 inch longer than the one that came with it. But of course you're doing this at your own risk.
@@fromcarstocomputers7261 LOL that was a quick response. I call it death chair5 haha. The seat from front to back makes you sit way too deep. I think I'll get a Sawzall and cut the front of the chair out then I'll get some wood shims to raise theBack up still😂 hope this chair doesn't kill too many people
@@fromcarstocomputers7261 my wife took the stabilizing bar off and now the seat sits forward to where I like it and then we drilled a hole and put a sheet metal screw to adjust the seat. Thank goodness cuz now this thing as halfway is comfortable.
@@mattmortenson9677 Just remember that it is not factory so give it a good test so that you don't get dumped out of it
any way to extend the arms further out, lengthwise?
Not officially. there may be some after market extenders for it but nothing that I know of
How long will it stay charged?
Hard to say that depends on how much you use it each day and the state of your battery. But it is a good idea to give the batteries a refresh about once a week if not in use. I would not just leave it on the charger ( some say that it is ok, because it is suppose to shut down when charged. ) but I would still not leave it on the charger after the charge.
Thanks so much I just got it and didnt get the paper work its been sitting a little while but is charged now.
@@shawn7742 You could just take it out and drive it around a small track until you notice it drop speed ( going into limp home mode because the batteries are low ) and that will give you an idea of how long it would last ( make sure you don't go to far away from your starting point ) Remember that while in normal use these will good a short distance then stop then go over there and then over here and then back to the room and so forth, point is they are not using power the whole time ( try not to let the battery drain all the way down )
Does the Jazzy select 6 gearbox have metal or plastic gears?
I have never had any problems with the gearbox so I have not seen inside of it to know if the gears are plastic or metal.
thx :)
do you know how to work the jazzy 614 hd chair?
I have Never used that model.
If you are still having problems with your 614, you can contact me. I deal with all makes and models.
Any suggestions on cheap batteries?
apexbattery Is the best deal I have seen, but there might be better one out there
@@fromcarstocomputers7261 Thanks. I was told Gel are a better bang for the buck but I know nothin about it!
@@twinstar9 Yes Gel's are better, but you ask about cheap batteries. The best deals I seen in the past on a Gel battery was right around 100.00 dollars
@@fromcarstocomputers7261 Do you have an opinion on which is better bang for the buck?
Just no. Swap arms. allen, 2 minutes, done. why on earth re route and cut zip ties. ridiculous.
