!Checkfor propertireinflation(ifequippedwithpneumatictires).

!Checkallelectricalconnections.Make sure they are tight and not corroded.

!Checkallharnessconnections.Makesuretheyaresecuredproperly.

!Check the brakes.

!Checkbatterycharge.

Ifyoudiscover a problem, contact yourauthorizedPrideProviderforassistance.

TIRE INFLATION

IfyourPMV is equipped with pneumatic tires,youshouldcheckorhavethe air pressure checked atleastoncea

week.Properinflationpressureswillprolongthe life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your

PMV.

WARNING! It is critically important that 50 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 50 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 PMV.

WARNING! Inflate your PMV 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

YourPMVisratedfor amaximumweightcapacity.Referto thespecificationstable forinformation.

WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal

injury and damage to your PMV. 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 PMV. Carrying passengers may result in personal

injury and/or property damage.

atecautiously.When drivingdownan incline,dosobysettingthespeedadjustment dialtothe slowestsettingand

drivinginthe forward direction only.Ifyour PMV starts to movedowntheinclinefasterthan you anticipated or

desired,allowittocome to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever.Then push the throttle control

leverforward slightlytoensure asafelycontrolled descent.

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

incline. Drive your PMV 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 PMV 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 PMV in freewheel

mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! Even though your PMV is capable of climbing slopes greater than 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 PMV,

resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your PMV.

Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Incline Angle

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

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

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

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

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

the brake engages.

CORNERING INFORMATION

Excessivelyhigh cornering speeds can createthe possibilityof tipping. Factorswhich affect thepossibility of

tippinginclude, butarenot limitedto,cornering speed,steeringangle (howsharplyyou areturning),uneven road

surfaces,inclinedroadsurfaces,ridingfromanareaoflowtractiontoanareaofhightraction(suchaspassingfrom

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

steeringangle (i.e., lessenthesharpnessof the turn)topreventyour PMV fromtipping.

WARNING!

When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your PMV 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.

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 PMV climb or descend an obstacle that is

inordinately high. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.

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

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

WARNING! Be sure your PMV 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 4.72 in.

Figure 3. Correct Curb Approach Figure 3A. Incorrect Curb Approach

WARNING! Use extreme caution when operating your PMV on public streets and roadways.

Be aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your PMV.

Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then

proceed with extreme caution.
