GENERAL

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

understanding this owners manual.

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

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

final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of cooter to be used is the responsibility of the

cooter 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 cooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride

provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.

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

operating the cooter 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 cooter user in various daily living activities.

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

you will need some practice. imply 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 cooter safely.

MO IFICATIONS

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

accessories is available from your Pride provider to further customize your cooter 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 cooter.

WARNING! Do not modify your Scooter in any way not authorized by Pride. Unauthorized

modifications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Scooter.

II. SAFETY

PRE-RI E SAFETY CHECK

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

before each use to make sure your cooter operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform

these necessary inspections, see XII. Care and Maintenance.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your cooter:

nCheck for proper tire inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).

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

nCheck all controller connections to the utility tray. Make sure they are secured properly.

nCheck the brakes.

nCheck battery charge.

WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires at

all times. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure in pneumatic tires at all times may result in

catastrophic tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your

Scooter.

WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Scooter. Carrying passengers on your Scooter may

result in personal injury and/or property damage.

If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride provider for assistance.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your cooter is rated for a 300-lb. maximum weight limit.

INCLINE INFORMATION

More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe

access. ome ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good

cornering skills on your cooter.

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

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

cooter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 cooters speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to

ensure a safely controlled descent. ee V. Your Legend.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

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.

II. SAFETY

8Legend

When climbing an incline, try to keep your cooter 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 cooter 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.

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all handicap public access ramps in the

United tates are required to have a maximum slope of five degrees. Therefore, Pride recommends that the

maximum degree of an incline you attempt to safely ascend or descend on your cooter does not exceed

those shown in figures 1 and 2.

These tests were conducted with the Legends seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the

seat base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Legends ability to

travel up inclines is affected by your weight, your cooters speed, your angle of approach to the incline,

and your cooter setup.

II. SAFETY

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than shown in figures 1 and 2 may

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

FIGURE 2. MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED INCLINE ANGLE FOR THE 4-WHEEL LEGEND

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 manual freewheel

mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

9Legend

FIGURE 4. INCREASED STABILITY DRIVING POSITION

FIGURE 3. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION

When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. ee figures 3 and 4. This shifts the center of

gravity of you and your Legend toward the front of the cooter 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 cooter

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.

II. SAFETY

10 Legend

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your cooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:

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

center/stop position; and

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.

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)

Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (curbs,

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 backwards down any step, curb, or other

obstacle. his may cause the Scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

OUT OOR RIVING SURFACES

Your cooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, level surfaces

composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you

will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your cooter is designed to perform admirably on

packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your cooter safely on lawns and in park areas.

nReduce your cooter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.
