II. SAFETY

GENERAL

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

extensive 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 thera-

pist, 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 Sundancer safely.

MODIFICATIONS

Pride has designed and engineered your Sundancer to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of

accessories 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 Sundancer.

WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorized by Pride. Unauthorized modifica-

tions may resu t in persona injury and/or damage to your scooter.

WARNING! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without comp ete y reading and

understanding this owners manua .

II. SAFETY

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK

Get to know the feel of your Sundancer 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.  are and Maintenance.

Perform the following inspections prior to using your Sundancer:

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

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

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

nheck the brakes.

nheck battery charge.

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 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. See V. Your Sundancer.

nAvoid sudden stops and starts.

WARNING! Exceeding the weight imit voids your warranty and may resu t in persona injury and

damage to your scooter. Pride wi not be he d responsib e for injuries and/or property damage

resu ting from fai ure to observe weight imitations.

WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Sundancer. Carrying passengers may resu t in per-

sona injury and/or property damage.

If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride provider for assistance.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your Sundancer is rated for a 300-lb. maximum weight limit.

8Sundancer

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.

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 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 c imb or descend a s ope steeper than shown in figures 1 and 1A may

put your scooter in an unstab e position and cause it to tip, resu ting in persona injury.

WARNING! When c imbing an inc ine, do not zigzag or drive at an ang e up the face of the inc ine.

Drive your scooter straight up the inc ine. This great y reduces the possibi ity of a tip or a fa .

A ways exercise extreme caution when negotiating an inc ine.

WARNING! You shou d not trave up or down a potentia y hazardous inc ine (i.e., areas covered

with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet eaves).

WARNING! When on any sort of an inc ine or dec ine, never p ace the scooter in freewhee mode

whi e seated on it or standing next to it.

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 sharp y, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at higher speeds,

do not corner sharp y. This great y reduces the possibi ity of a tip or fa . To avoid persona injury or

property damage, a ways exercise common sense when cornering.

II. SAFETY

FIGURE 2A. INCREASED STABILITY DRIVING POSITION

FIGURE 2. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION

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

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

WARNING! Do not exceed the inc ine guide ines or any other specifications presented in this

manua .

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your scooter is equipped with two 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 near stop, or when

power is removed from the system for any reason.

10 Sundancer

II. SAFETY

OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your Sundancer is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, level surfaces

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

encounter 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.

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)

WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected edges, and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches,

stairs, etc.).

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter c imb or descend an obstac e that is inordinate y

high. Serious persona injury and/or damage may resu t.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed backward down any step, curb, or other

obstac e. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause persona injury.

WARNING! Be sure your scooter is trave ing perpendicu ar to any curb you may be required to

ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.

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