II. SAFETY

As you begin to use your Victory during your daily activities, you will encounter situations that, at first, may require

some practice to negotiate on your Victory Scooter. Simply take your time as you operate your Victory 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.

DOORS

nDetermine if the door opens toward or away from you.

nUse your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.

nDrive your Victory gently and slowly forward to push the door open, or drive your Victory gently and slowly

backwards to pull the door open.

ELEVATORS

Modern elevators have a door-edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).

nIf you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or

allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen.

nUse care that pocketbooks, packages, or Victory accessories do not become caught in the elevator doors.

RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES

More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination. These ramps are designed for easy and

safe scooter access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require good cornering skills on your Victory.

nTake wide swings with your Victorys front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the Victorys rear

wheels will follow a wide arc. Do not cut the corner short, and do not bump into or get hung up on any railing

corners.

nWhen driving down a ramp, keep the Victorys speed adjustment dial (see V. Description) set to the tortoise

(slowest speed setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent.

nNever drive your Victory across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a hill, and do not stop, if possible,

while driving up or down an incline.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for scooters. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate your

Victorys stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads under controlled testing conditions.

WARNING!

Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual. See pages

4 5 11 and 12.

These tests were conducted with the Victorys seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the seat base

to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Victory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.

FIGURE 3. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION FIGURE 4. INCREASED STABILITY DRIVING POSITION

II. SAFETY

nWhen you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 3 and 4. This shifts the center of gravity

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

DRIVING SURFACES

Your Victory was designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions - dry, level surfaces

composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes the fact that there will be times when you will operate

your Victory on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. So we have also designed your Victory to perform

admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.

nFeel free to use your Victory safely on lawns and in park areas.

nAvoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.

nPacked soil and gravel, such as driveways or roads, will present no problem for your Victory.

nAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

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

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

nDo not operate your new Victory for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owners

manual.

nDo not carry passengers on your Victory.

nDo not leave the key in the switch when your Victory is unattended.

WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in

this manual.

8Victory

nMake certain that the seat is locked into place and that the key is removed from the key switch before getting on or

off of your Victory. Make certain that the seat is in a locked position when you are operating your Victory.

nReduce your Victorys speed when you are operating it on uneven terrain and soft surfaces.

nReduce your Victorys speed when you are driving it around a corner.

nNever drive your Victory across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a hill, and do not stop, if possible,

while driving up or down an incline.

nProceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline and when driving near

a raised surface or unprotected ledges and drop offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.).

nNever remove your Victorys anti-tip wheels or modify the Victory in any way that is not authorized by Pride.

nUse extreme caution when operating your Victory on busy streets and in parking lots or shopping malls and

never ride your Victory where you cannot safely and legally walk. Consult local municipal or state agencies

with regard to operating your Victory on public roadways.

nDo not operate your Victory while you are under the influence of alcohol.

nCheck with your physician if you are taking any medications that may affect your ability to operate your Victory

safely.

nKeep your hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard when you are operating your Victory.

nMake certain that the tires are properly inflated (3 psi).

nNever use your Victory Scooter as a seat in a moving vehicle.

nMake certain that the Victorys batteries are properly secured when you are transporting your scooter in

another vehicle.

nDisconnect your Victorys batteries if you will not be using the scooter for more than 48 hours.

nBattery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

II. SAFETY

WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow,

mist, or washing the scooter). Such exposure can damage the electronics. Never attempt

to ride a scooter that has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.

WARNING! Do not operate or store the scooter where it may be exposed to inclement

weather conditions such as rain, snow, mist, and below-freezing temperatures (such as

storage on an outside car/van lift). Attempting to operate the scooter in such conditions

can damage the electronics and potentially result in loss of control.

WARNING! Do not operate a scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces

(i.e., walks or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury, or adversely

affect the performance and/or safety of your scooter.

WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen

battery. his will damage the battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to charge

a battery in freezing conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.

EMI/RFI WARNINGS

Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause

unintended motion of electric scooters. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When electro-

magnetic energy adversely affects the operation of an electrical device, that adverse effect is called Electromag-

netic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).

EMI/RFI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)

The following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this information to minimize the risk

that EMI/RFI will adversely affect your Victory.

Where do radio waves come from?

Radio waves are emitted from the antennas of cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies and

CBs), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave sources,

and paging transmitters. Radio waves are a form of EM. Because EM is more intense closer to transmitting

antennas (sources of emission), the EM fields from two-way radios are of special concern to electric scooter users.

If EMI/R I affects my Victory, what kind of motion should I expect?

This is difficult to predict. The answer would depend on a number of factors:

nThe strength of the radio waves.

nThe construction of your particular Victory.

nThe location of your Victory (whether it is on level ground or on an incline).

nWhether or not your Victory is in motion.

The motion of any electric scooter affected by EMI/RFI can be erratic. The scooter may come to a sudden stop or

move in an uncontrolled manner. Also, it is possible for EMI/RFI to release the brakes of an electric scooter. Some

intense EMI/RFI can even damage the control system components of an electric scooter.

Is there any way to know for certain whether or not radio waves are the cause of any unintended motion

of my Victory?

Unfortunately, EMI/RFI may be difficult to recognize, since the signals from radio sources are invisible and may be

intermittent. However, the FDA recommends that you report all incidents of unintended motion or unintended

brake release of your electric scooter to the scooters manufacturer and, if possible, determine whether or not

there was a radio wave source nearby at the time of the incident.

One precaution you can take against inadvertent motion of your Victory is to make certain that you or someone

else is not the cause of the unintended motion.

nTurn off your Victory by removing the key from the key switch when you are getting on or off of your Victory.

nNever leave the key in the key switch of an unattended Victory.

By following these steps, you greatly reduce the risk of you or anyone else inadvertently bumping the throttle

control levers and causing the Victory to move unintentionally.

Are all scooters susceptible to EMI/R I?

Each make and model of electric scooter differs in its ability to resist EMI/RFI. That is, each scooter has a

particular level of resistance to EMI/RFI. This resistance is measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher resistance

level offers greater protection against EMI/RFI. In other words, an electric scooter with a high resistance level is

less likely to be affected by a strong radio source than is an electric scooter with a low resistance level.

III. EMI/RFI

1 Victory

What is the DA doing about the problem?

The FDA has written to electric scooter manufacturers and requested that those manufacturers test their new

Scooter models to be certain that they provide a reasonable degree of resistance against EMI/RFI. The FDA has

stated that all newly-manufactured models of electric scooters should have a resistance level of at least 2 V/m.

This resistance level provides a reasonable degree of protection against the common sources of EMI/RFI.

The DA has also requested or recommended that:

nElectric scooter manufacturers clearly label new products with that products resistance level or state that the

resistance level is not known.

nThe labeling or informational material supplied with new electric scooters must explain what the resistance level

means and warn users about the possibility of EMI/RFI and how to avoid it.

nElectric scooter manufacturers undertake an educational program to inform electric scooter users and their

caregivers about the problems associated with EMI/RFI and about the actions they can take to minimize the

risk of EMI/RFI.

nWhile there is no exact way to tell if your scooter is totally safe, an immunity level of 2 V/m (May 1994) is

generally achievable. This product has been tested and passed at an immunity level of 2 V/m. Adding acces-

sories and components or modifying the unit may change the susceptibility to EMI/RFI.

What can I do to find out if my Victory is likely to be affected by EMI/R I?

If you have had your Victory for some time and have not experienced any unintended motion, it is not likely that you

will have a problem in the future. However, it is always possible that EMI problems could arise if you are close to

a source of radio waves. Therefore, it is very important for you to be alert to this possibility. The Victory Scooter

meets or exceeds a resistance level of at least 2 V/m.

What can I do to reduce the risk of my Victory being affected by EMI/R I?

Here are some precautions you can take:

nDo not turn on or use hand-held personal communications devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios and

cellular phones, while your Victory is turned on.

nBe aware of nearby radio wave transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two-way

radios. Try not to operate your Victory too close to those transmitters. For example, if you are on an electric

scooter with a resistance level of at least 2 V/m, you should remain at least three feet from a hand-held two-

way radio and at least ten feet from a mobile two-way radio.

nBe aware that adding accessories and/or components, or modifying your Victory in any way, may change its EMI/RFI

resistance level and may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources.

What should I do if my Victory moves unexpectedly?

If unintended motion or unintended brake release occurs, turn off your Victory (by removing the key) as soon as it

is safe to do so.

If my Victory moves unintentionally, where should I report the incident?

Call our headquarters at 1-800-800-8586 to report the incident.
