INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not operate your 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 safety of your scooter.
WARNING! Do not operate or store your 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.
FREEWHEEL MODE
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pulled up, allows the scooter to be pushed. For more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see V. “Your Celebrity.”
WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
νDisengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
νEnsure the key is removed from the key switch.
νStand behind the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on a scooter to do this.
νAfter you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode to lock the brakes.
Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators. You may cause injury to yourself and to others and/or damage your scooter.
DOORS
νDetermine if the door opens toward or away from you.
νUse your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or
νDrive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and slowly rearwards to pull the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
νIf you are in the doorway of a elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen.
νUse care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
