II. SAFETY

GENERAL

WARNING! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and

understanding this owners manual.

Your Go-Go is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an exten-

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

and purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter user who is

capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).

The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the

scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or your authorised Pride Provider

in the instruction process for the use of the product.

There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will need to practice

operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member

or care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various daily living activities.

As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will

need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver

through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.

Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to

operating the scooter safely.

MODIFICATIONS

Pride has designed and engineered your scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of acces-

sories is available from your authorised Pride Provider to further customize your scooter to better suit your needs

and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or disable any feature,

part, or function of your scooter.

WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way unless authorised by Pride. Unauthorised modi-

fications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

REMOVABLE PARTS

WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a scooter by any of its removable parts. Personal injury

and damage to the scooter may result.

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS

Your scooters road performance features may be influenced by electromagnetic fields caused by cellular tele-

phones or other radiating devices, such as hand-held radios, radio and television stations, wireless computer links,

microwave sources, and paging transmitters.

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK

Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before

each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary

inspections, see XI. Care and Maintenance.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:

nCheck all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.

nCheck the brakes.

nCheck battery charge.

If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride Provider for assistance.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your Go-Go is rated for a 3 kg maximum weight limit.

II. SAFETY

WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit 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.

GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER

Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips

when getting onto and off of your scooter:

nPower down your scooter. See VI. Operation.

nEnsure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See IV. Your Go-Go.

nMake certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.

WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the scooter from

tipping and causing injury.

WARNING! If you have the optional seat upgrade with armrests, avoid using your armrests for

weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause your Go-Go to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the scooter to tip

and cause personal injury.

POSITIONING BELTS

Your authorised Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining

your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your scooter safely.

WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your scooter, make sure it is fastened

securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the scooter.

II. SAFETY

Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for scooters. Figures and A illustrate your

scooters stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.

These tests were conducted with the Go-Gos seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat base

to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your scooters ability to travel up inclines is

affected by your weight, your scooters speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your scooter setup.

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend slopes steeper than that shown in figures 1 and 1A

may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.

INCLINE INFORMATION

More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination designed for easy and safe access. Some

ramps may have turning switchbacks ( 80-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your scooter.

nProceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.

nTake wide swings with your scooters front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the scooters rear

wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.

nWhen driving down a ramp, keep the scooters speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a

safely controlled descent. See IV. Your Go-Go.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

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

accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest

setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you

anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the

throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.

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. his greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall.

Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating 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).

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.

II. SAFETY

Figure 2A. Increased Stability Driving Position

Figure 2. Normal Driving Position

When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of

you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability.

WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this

manual.

CORNERING INFORMATION

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

tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road

surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from

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

steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your scooter from tipping.

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

do not corner sharply. his greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. o avoid personal injury or

property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:

. Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/

stop position.

2. Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when

power is removed from the system for any reason.

II. SAFETY

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, level surfaces com-

posed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognises that there will be times when you will encoun-

ter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and

gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.

nReduce your scooters speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.

nAvoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.

nAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

nIf you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)

Always approach a kerb straight on whether ascending or descending it. See figures 3 and 3A.

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. his may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any kerb you may be required to

ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.

WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a kerb that has a height greater than 5 cm.
