II. SAFETY

GENERAL

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

and understanding this owners manual.

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 authorized 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 authorized Pride Provider to further customize 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 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 a scooter by any of its removable parts. Personal

injury and damage to the scooter may result.

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. Learn more about this topic in III.  EMI-RFI.

Victory www.pridemobility.com 7

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 XII. Care and Maintenance.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:

nCheck for proper tire inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).

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

nCheck all controller connections to the utility tray. Make sure they are secured properly.

nCheck the brakes.

nCheck battery charge.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this capacity.

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s front wheel(s) 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 ad ustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a

safely controlled descent. See V. Your Victory.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

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 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

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

personal injury and/or property damage.

WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit 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.

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 ad ustment 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.

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 ad usted backward 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 shown in figures 1 and

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

injury.

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. his 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 a hill or diagonally up or down a

hill; 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 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

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

WARNING! Never use an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. Never fill the rear basket

with contents exceeding 15 lbs.

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. his greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. o avoid

personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.

II. SAFETY

Figure 3. Increased Stability Driving Position

Figure 2. Normal Driving Position

When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 3. This shifts the center of gravity of you

and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability.

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:

1. Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/

stop position; and

2. Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to a near stop, or when

power is removed from the system for any reason.

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.

PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS

NOTE: afety accessories such as fluorescent flags, are available to order from your authorized Pride

Provider.

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, level surfaces com-

posed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encoun-

ter 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.

nReduce your scooters speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.

nAvoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.

nAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

nIf you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

II. SAFETY

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)

Figure 4. Correct Curb Approach Figure 4A. Incorrect Curb Approach

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 backward down any step, curb, or

other obstacle. his 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 4 and 4A.

WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than two inches.
