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., med-

ical 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 authorised 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 manoeuvre through doorways, on and off lifts, 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. A wide range

of accessories are available from your authorised Pride Provider to further customise 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 scooter.

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

reading and understanding this owner’s manual.

WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorised 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.

10 www.pridemobility.com Outback

II. SAFETY

Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:

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

on each tyre if equipped with pneumatic tyres.

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.

Check battery charge.

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

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.

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

the tyre be maintained in pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate

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

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

times may result in tyre and/or wheel failure.

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

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

them, resulting in a burst tyre.

MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for 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 centre of gravity, resulting in a tip or fall.

NOTE: If the tyres 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.

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.

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 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.
