TIRE INFLATION

IfyourPMVisequippedwithpneumatic tyres, you should checkorhavetheairpressurechecked at least once a

week.Properinflationpressures will prolong thelifeofyour tyres and helpensurethe smooth operation ofyour

PMV.

WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tire pressure 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 30-35 psi tire pressure

in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.

WARNING! Inflate your PMV 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 tire.

WARNING! When changing a tire, remove only the center lug nut, then remove the tire. If

any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

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 PMV. Carrying passengers on your PMV may

affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.

WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the

incline. Drive your PMV straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip

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

WARNING! Do not drive your PMV across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down an

incline; 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 PMV in freewheel

mode while seated on it or standing next to it.

WARNING! Even though your PMV is capable of climbing slopes greater than those

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

any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your

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

Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Incline Angles

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figure

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

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

basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs.
