extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter user. Please be aware that the final

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal

injury and damage to your scooter. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or

property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.

WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers may result in

personal injury and/or property damage.

TYRE INFLATION

If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least

onceaweek.Properinflationpressureswillprolongthelifeofyourtyresandhelpensurethesmoothoperation

of your scooter.

WARNING! It is critically important that 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure be maintained

in pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Low pressure

may result in loss of control and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to maintain 2-2.4 bar

(30-35 psi) tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel

failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

WARNING! Inflate your scooter tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure

gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting

in a burst tyre and/or personal injury.

INCLINE INFORMATION

Moreand more buildings have rampswith specified degrees of inclination,designed for easy and safe access.

Somerampsmay have turning switchbacks(180-degreeturns)thatrequireyou to have goodcorneringskillson

yourscooter.

!Proceedwithextremecautionasyouapproachthedowngrade of a ramp or other incline.

!Take wide swingswith your scooter around anytight corners. If you do that, the scooter’s rear wheels will

followawidearc,not cut the corner short and not bump intoorgethunguponanyrailingcorners.

!Whendrivingdownaramp,keepthescooter’sspeed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a

safelycontrolleddescent.

!Avoidsudden stops and starts.

When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then

acceleratecautiously. When driving downan incline, do soby setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest

settinganddrivingintheforwarddirectiononly.If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you

anticipatedordesired, allow it to come toacomplete stop by releasing the throttlecontrollever.Then push the

throttlecontrol leverforwardslightlytoensureasafely controlleddescent.

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the

incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a

tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.

WARNING! Do not drive your scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down

an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.

WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas

covered with snow, ice, cut grass or wet leaves).

Destiny www.pridemobility.com

II. SAFETY

WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in freewheel

mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! Even though your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than that

illustrated in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or

any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your

scooter, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figure

injury.

NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the

powered scooter may roll back approximately 30.5 cm (1 foot) before the brake engages. If the throttle

control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered scooter may roll back approximately 1

metre (3 feet) before the brake engages.

CORNERING INFORMATION

Excessivelyhigh cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of

tippinginclude, butarenot limitedto,corneringspeed,steeringangle(howsharplyyouareturning),unevenroad

surfaces,inclinedroadsurfaces,ridingfromanareaoflowtractiontoanareaofhightraction(suchaspassingfrom

a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning) and abrupt directional changes. High

cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and

steeringangle(i.e., lessen thesharpnessoftheturn) topreventyourscooterfrom tipping.

WARNING!

When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at higher

speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid

personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.

PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS

WARNING! You should not operate your scooter on public streets and roadways. Be aware

that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter. Obey all

local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with

extreme caution.

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)

WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (kerbs,

porches, stairs, etc.).

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is

inordinately high. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed rearward down any step, kerb

or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
