Stairs and Escalators

Power chairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.

WARNING! Never use your power chair to negotiate steps or escalators.

Doors

Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.

Drive your power chair gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your power chair gently and slowly backward to pull the door open.

Elevators

Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).

If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the power chair and the door will reopen.

Use care that pocketbooks, packages or power chair accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.

Elevators/Elevation Products

If you will be transporting your power chair during travel, you may find it necessary to use a vehicle-mounted elevator system or elevation product to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the warn- ings, instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the elevator/elevation product before using that product.

WARNING! Not all elevator systems/elevation products are rated for use with an occupied mobility device. Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your power chair when it is being used in connection with any type of elevator system/elevation product unless:

That product is rated for occupied use by the manufacturer.

You are able to occupy your mobility device in strict conformity with the warnings, instructions, specifications, and safety guidelines set forth by the manufacturer.

WARNING! Always turn off the power to the controller when you are being transferred via an elevation product. Failure to do so may result in accidental joystick contact, resulting in unintended movement and personal injury or product damage.

Motor Vehicle Transport

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