MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your PMV while traveling in a motor vehicle. The PMV should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and properly secured. In addition, all removable PMV parts, including the armrests, seat, and shroud should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport.

WARNING! Although your PMV may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.

WARNING! Do not sit on your PMV while it is in a moving vehicle.

WARNING! Always be sure your PMV and its batteries are properly secured when it is being transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position and protective caps should be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be transported with any flammable or combustible items.

GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR PMV

Getting onto and off of your PMV requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips when getting onto and off of your PMV:

Remove the key from the key switch.

Ensure that your PMV is not in freewheel mode. See III. “Your PMV.” Make certain that the seat is secured into place.

Pivot the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the PMV easier.

WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the PMV seat to prevent the PMV from tipping.

WARNING! Avoid putting all your weight on the PMV armrests and do not use the armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the PMV to tip, resulting in a fall from the PMV and personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the PMV to tip.

REACHING AND BENDING

Avoid reaching or bending while driving your PMV. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated on your PMV, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the PMV from tipping. Pride recommends that the PMV user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.

WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the PMV deck or from either side of the PMV. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the PMV and cause your PMV to tip.

PROHIBITED! Keep your hands away from the drive tires when driving. Be aware that loose fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires.
