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.).

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 of 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 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. Unauthorized

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

REMOVABLE PARTS

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

Personal injury and damage to the scooter may result.

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

and understanding this owner’s manual.

II. SAFETY

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:

!Check for proper tire inflation (if equipped with pneumatic tires).

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

!Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.

!Check the brakes.

!Checkbatterycharge.

Ifyoudiscover a problem, contact yourauthorizedPrideProviderforassistance.

TIRE INFLATION

Ifyourscooterisequippedwithpneumatictires,youshouldcheckorhavetheairpressurecheckedatleastonceaweek.

Properinflationpressureswillprolongthelifeofyourtiresandhelpensurethesmoothoperationofyourscooter.

WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tire pressure 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 30-35 psi tire pressure

in pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious

personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

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 and/or personal injury.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Yourscooterisratedfor amaximumweight capacity.Refertothe specificationstablefor information.

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.

INCLINE INFORMATION

Moreand more buildings have rampswith specified degreesof inclination, designedfor easy and safeaccess.

Somerampsmay have turning switchbacks(180-degreeturns)thatrequire you to havegoodcorneringskillson

yourscooter.

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

!Take wide swings with your scooter 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.

!Avoid sudden stops and starts.

II. SAFETY

Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Incline Angles

150 lbs.

7° (12.3%)

200-250 lbs.

6° (10.5%)300-350 lbs.

5° (8.7%)

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. 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.

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 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 a slope steeper than what is shown in figure

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

injury.

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. 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 these 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.

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

powered scooter may "rollback" approximately 1 foot before the brake engages. If the throttle control

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

before the brake engages.

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your scooter 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 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.

!Reduceyourscooter’sspeedwhendrivingonuneven terrain and/or softsurfaces.

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

!Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

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

PUBLIC 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. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.

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

other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

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

to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.

WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 2 in.

II. SAFETY

INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

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

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

opportunity.Thoroughly dry yourscooter before storing,charging,or operating yourscooter.

WARNING! 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.

FREEWHEEL MODE

Yourscooterisequippedwithamanualfreewheelleverthat, whenpulledup,allowsthescooter tobepushed. For

moreinformationabouthowtoplaceyourscooterintoand outoffreewheelmode,seeV.“Your Scooter.”

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

! Disengage the drive motor only on a level surface.

! Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.

! 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.

Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

An added feature built into your 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” while in freewheel mode, the scooter’s controller activates regenerative
