II. SAFETY

GENERAL

Your Maxima 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 the user become accus-

tomed to operating the Maxima safely.

MODIFICATIONS

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

accessories is available from your authorized 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 Maxima.

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

modifications may result in ersonal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

WARNING! Do not o erate your new scooter for the first time without com letely reading

and understanding this owners manual.

II. SAFETY

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK

Get to know the feel of your Maxima 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 XII. Care and Maintenance.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your Maxima:

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.

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

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

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 V. Your Maxima.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit voids your warranty and may result in ersonal

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

ro erty damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.

WARNING! Do not carry assengers on your Maxima. Carrying assengers may result in

ersonal injury and/or ro erty damage.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your Maxima is rated for a 450-lb. maximum weight limit.

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 im ortant that 30-35 si tire ressure be maintained in neumatic

tires at all times. Failure to maintain 30-35 si tire ressure in neumatic tires at all times

may result in catastro hic tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious ersonal injury and/

or damage to your scooter.

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

ressure gauge. Maximum air ressure for scooter drive tires is 30-35 si. Inflating your

tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire and/

or ersonal injury.

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.

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 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 attem t to climb or descend a slo e stee er than what is shown in figure1

may ut your scooter in an unstable osition and cause it to ti , resulting in ersonal

injury.

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

incline. Drive your scooter straight u the incline. This greatly reduces the ossibility of

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

WARNING! Do not attem t to have your scooter roceed backwards down any incline,

ste curb or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to ti and cause ersonal injury

WARNING! You should not travel u or down a otentially 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 lace the scooter in freewheel

mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 13 lbs. Never fill the rear

basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs.

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 shar ly, reduce your s eed. When using your scooter at higher

s eeds, do not corner shar ly. This greatly reduces the ossibility of a ti or fall. To avoid

ersonal injury or ro erty damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.

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 s ecifications resented in

this manual.

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your scooter 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.

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.
