II. SAFETY

GENERAL

Your scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an exten-

sive 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 practice

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 accustomed 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 operate your new scooter for t e first time wit out completely reading

and understanding t is owners manual.

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS

Your scooters road performance features may be influenced by electromagnetic fields caused by cellular tele-

phones or other radiating devices such as hand-held radios radio and television stations wireless computer links

microwave sources and paging transmitters.

WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not aut orized by Pride. Unaut orized

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 t e scooter may result.

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:

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

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

nCheck all harness connections. 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 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.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

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

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 important t at 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 w eel failure, causing serious

personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

WARNING! Inflate your scooter tires from a regulated air source wit an available pressure

gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate t em, resulting

in a burst tire and/or personal injury.

WARNING! Exceeding t e weig t capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal

injury and damage to your scooter. Pride will not be eld responsible for injuries and/or

property damage resulting from failure to observe weig t 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.

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper t an w at is s own in figure

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

injury.

WARNING! W en climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up t e face of t e

incline. Drive your scooter straig t up t e incline. T is greatly reduces t e possibility of a

tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution w en negotiating an incline.

WARNING! Do not drive your scooter across t e side of an incline or diagonally up or down

a ill; do not stop, if possible, w ile driving up or down an incline.

WARNING! You s ould not travel up or down a potentially azardous incline (i.e., areas

covered wit snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).

WARNING! W en on any sort of an incline or decline, never place t e scooter in freew eel

mode w ile seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! Even t oug your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater t an t ose

illustrated in figure 1 do not, under any circumstances, exceed t e incline guidelines or

any ot er specifications presented in t is 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.
