SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

νDo not operate your new Shuttle for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual.

νDo not carry passengers on your Shuttle.

νDo not leave the key in the switch when your Shuttle is unattended.

νMake 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 Shuttle. Make certain that the seat is in a locked position when you are operat- ing your Shuttle.

νReduce your Shuttle’s speed when you are operating it on uneven terrain and soft surfaces.

νReduce your Shuttle’s speed when you are driving it around a corner.

νNever drive your Shuttle 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.

νProceed 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.).

νNever remove your Shuttle’s anti-tip wheels or modify the Shuttle in any way that is not authorized by Pride.

νUse extreme caution when operating your Shuttle on busy streets and in parking lots or shopping malls and never ride your Shuttle where you cannot safely and legally walk. Consult local municipal or state agencies with regard to operating your Shuttle on public roadways.

νDo not operate your Shuttle while you are under the influence of alcohol.

νCheck with your physician if you are taking any medications that may affect your ability to operate your Shuttle safely.

νKeep your hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard when you are operating your Shuttle.

νMake certain that the tires are properly inflated (30 psi).

νNever use your scooter as a seat in a moving vehicle.

νMake certain that the Shuttle’s batteries are properly secured when you are transporting your scooter in another vehicle.

νDisconnect your Shuttle’s batteries if you will not be using the scooter for more than 48 hours.

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

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 fro- zen battery. This will damage the battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to charge a battery in freezing conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.
