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 recognises 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.

!Reduce your scooter’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.

!Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.

!Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

!If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Kerbs, etc.)

WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (kerbs, 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 rearward down any step, kerb, or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any kerb you may be required to ascend or descend. See figures 4 and 5.

WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a kerb that has a height greater than 5 cm (2 in.).

WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when operating the scooter on footpaths, pavements, bridleways, pedestrian areas and roads. Obey the Code of Practice for Class 3 vehicle users. Failure to heed could result in serious injury and/or damage to your scooter.

NOTE: A copy of the Department of Transportation, Code of Practice for Class 3 vehicle users, may be obtained by contacting your local Pride Dealer.
