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.).

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 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 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. A wide range of acces-

sories is 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.

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

and understanding this 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 authorised y Pride. Unauthorised

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

REMOVABLE PARTS

WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your scooter y any of its remova le parts.

Personal injury and damage to the scooter may result.

Ultimate 3-4/Rev A/July03

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

injury and damage to your scooter. Pride will not e held responsi le for injuries and/or

property damage resulting from failure to o serve weight limitations.

WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers may result in

personal injury and/or property damage.

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 tyre inflation (if equipped with pneumatic tyres).

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 authorised 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.

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 ar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure e 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 urst. Failure to maintain 2-2.4

ar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel

failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

WARNING! Inflate your scooter tyres from a regulated air source with an availa le pressure

gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting

in a urst tyre and/or personal injury.

10 Ultimate 3-4/Rev A/July03

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 clim or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figures

1 and 1A may put your scooter in an unsta le position and cause it to tip, resulting in

personal injury.

WARNING! When clim ing 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 possi ility of a

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

WARNING! Do not drive your scooter across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a

hill; do not stop, if possi le, 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 capa le of clim ing slopes greater than those

illustrated in figures 1 and 1A, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline

guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause

insta ility in your scooter, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

Incline Angles Figure 1A. (4-wheel) Maximum Recommended

Incline Angles

WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 7 kg. Never fill the rear

asket with contents exceeding 7 kg.

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. Figures 1 and 1A illustrate 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.
