PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK

Gettoknowthefeelofyourscooter anditscapabilities.Priderecommendsthatyouperform a safetycheckbefore

eachuse tomake sureyour scooteroperates smoothlyand safely.Fordetails onhow toperform thesenecessary

inspections,seeX. “Careand Maintenance.”

Performthefollowinginspectionspriortousingyourscooter:

!Check for proper tyre inflation. Maintain 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) in each tyre (if equipped with pneu-

matic tyres).

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

!Checkall harnessconnections tothe electronicmodule. Makesure theyare securedproperly.

!Check the brakes.

!Check battery charge.

INCLINE INFORMATION

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

access.Some ramps may have turningswitchbacks (180-degree turns)that require youto have goodcornering

skillsonyour scooter.

!Proceedwith extremecaution asyou approachthe downgrade ofa rampor otherincline.

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

wheelswillfollowawidearc,notcutthecornershortandnotbumpintoorgethunguponanyrailingcorners.

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

ensurea safelycontrolled descent.See IV.“Your Scooter.”

!Avoid sudden stops and starts.

Ifyou discovera problem,contact yourauthorised PrideDealer forassistance.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your scooterisratedfor amaximumweightcapacity.Refertothespecifications tableforinformation.

TYRE INFLATION

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

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

operation 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. Failure to maintain 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure in

pneumatic tyres at all times may result in catastrophic tyre and/or wheel failure, causing

serious personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

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

pressure gauge. Maximum air pressure for scooter drive tyres is 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi). Inflating

your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tyre

and/or personal injury.

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.

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.

Otherinclines may be natural or, ifman-made, not designed specificallyfor scooters. Figure 1 illustratesyour

scooter’sstabilityanditsabilitytoclimbgradesundervariousweightloadsandundercontrolledtestingconditions.

These tests were conducted with the scooter’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! 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! 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 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, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

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

injury.

WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 7 kg (15 lbs.). Never fill the

rear basket with contents exceeding 7 kg (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

(suchaspassingfromagrassyarea toapavedarea–especiallyat highspeedwhileturning)andabruptdirectional

changes.High corneringspeeds arenot recommended. Ifyou feelthat youmay tipover ina corner, reduceyour

speedand steeringangle(i.e., lessenthe sharpnessof theturn) toprevent yourscooter fromtipping.

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.

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:

!Regenerative:Useselectricityto rapidlyslowthe vehiclewhenthethrottle controlleverreturnsto thecentre/

stopposition.

!DiscPark Brake:Activatesmechanically after regenerativebraking slows thevehicle to nearstop or when

poweris removedfrom thesystem forany reason.

Whenyouapproach anincline,it isbestto leanforward. See figures2 and2A.This shiftsthecentre ofgravityof

youand yourscooter towardthe frontof thescooter forimproved stability.

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

powered scooter may "rollback" 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 "rollback" approximately

one meter (3 feet) before the brake engages.

STREETS AND ROADWAYS

WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when operating the scooter on footpaths, pavements,

bridleways, pedestrian areas and roads. Obey the Code of Practice for Class 3 vehicle

users. Failure to heed could result in serious injury and/or damage to your scooter.

NOTE: Acopy of the Department of Transportation, Code of Practice for Class 3 vehicle users, may be

obtained by contacting your authorised Pride Dealer.

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.

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 (2 in.).
