II. SAFETY

GENERAL

Your scooter 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 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 the authorized 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 prac-

tice 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 you become accustomed

to operating the scooter safely.

MODIFICATIONS

Pride has designed and engineered your scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. 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 not authorized by Pride. Do not use

accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride products.

REMOVABLE PARTS

WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your scooter by any of its removable parts,

including the armrests, seat, or shroud.

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.

MANDATORY! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely

reading and understanding this owner’s manual.

II. SAFETY

Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:

Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated

on each tire if equipped with pneumatic tires.

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

Check all harness connections to the electronics tray. Make sure they are secured properly.

Check the brakes. See IX. “Care and Maintenance.”

Check battery charge. See IV. “Batteries and Charging.”

NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit. Keep

in mind that the maximum weight capacity includes the combined weight of the user and any accessories

mounted to the scooter.

MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your scooter. Exceeding the

weight capacity voids your warranty. 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 on your

scooter may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.

TIRE INFLATION

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

once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth

operation of your scooter.

WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on

the tire be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate

your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst.

Failure to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all

times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.

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

pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate

them, resulting in a burst tire.

NOTE: If the tires on your scooter list the psi rating only, use the following conversion formulas to

find the bar or kPa rating: bar = psi x 0.06895; kPa = psi x 6.89476.

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 (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cor-

nering skills on your scooter.

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

Take 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.

When driving down a ramp, keep the scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to

ensure a safely controlled descent. See III. “Your Scooter.”

Avoid sudden stops and starts.

Maxima 7

II. SAFETY

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.

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

not necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made,

not designed specifically for scooters. Figure 1 illustrates 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 scooter’s seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the

seat base to its farthest backward 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 a slope steeper than what is shown in figure

1 may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip.

WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. (6.8 kg). Never fill the

rear basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs. (6.8 kg).

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

mode, especially while seated on it or standing next to it.

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).

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

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.

II. SAFETY

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 and maintain a stable center of

gravity. When using your scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly

reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.

Figure 2A. Increased Stability Driving Position

Figure 2. Normal Driving Position

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.

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.

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.

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

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

control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered scooter may "rollback" approximately 3

feet (1 meter) before the brake engages.

II. SAFETY

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level sur-

faces 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 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.

Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.

Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.

Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

Do not use your scooter in fresh or salt water.

Do not use your scooter at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean.

If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

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, CURBS, ETC.)

WARNING! Do not drive 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.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed backward down any step, curb,

or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.

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

required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 4.

WARNING! Even though your scooter may be capable of handling greater obstacles, Pride

recommends that you do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than

2 in. (5 cm). Doing so could cause instability in your scooter.

WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators.

DOORS

Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.

Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.

Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and

slowly backwards to pull the door open.

STAIRS AND ESCALATORS

Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use a lift.

II. SAFETY

FREEWHEEL MODE

Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when engaged, allows the scooter to be

pushed. For more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see III.

“Your Scooter.”

WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.

 Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.

 E n s u r e t h e k e y i s r e m o v e d f r o m t h e k e y s w i t c h .

 Stand behind the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a

scooter to do this.

 After you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode

to lock the brakes.

An added feature built into the scooter is “push-too-fast” protection which safeguards the scooter against

gaining excessive speed while in freewheel mode.

“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:

If the key is switched “off” when in freewheel mode, the scooter’s controller activates regenerative

braking when the scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed.

In this case, the controller is acting as a speed governor.

If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any

speed. This prevents the scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever

inadvertently be released while driving the scooter.

INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

Exposure of your scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If sud-

denly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your scooter proceed to shelter at the

earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your scooter before storing, charging, or operating your scooter.

PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery

surfaces can cause personal injury and/or damage to the scooter and electrical system.

Maintain and store your scooter in a dry and clean condition.

WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of

upholstered and non-upholstered items on the scooter, possibly resulting in skin

irritation. Exercise caution when using your scooter in extremely hot or cold conditions

or when exposing your scooter to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
