BRAKING INFORMATION

Your scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:

1.Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/ stop position; and

2.Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power is removed from the system for any reason.

Brake engagement is far more abrupt at higher speeds. It is important that you know when the brakes will engage, and that you are braced for the resulting deceleration.

WARNING! Your scooter can decelerate very quickly. Do not decelerate or turn abruptly when traveling at high speed unless absolutely necessary. If it is absolutely necessary to decelerate or turn abruptly when traveling at high speed, brace yourself by gripping the tiller tightly and planting your feet firmly against the floorboard. Users who cannot grip the tiller tightly and/or plant their feet firmly against the floorboard should avoid decelerating from or turning abruptly at high speed, and therefore should avoid traveling at high speed. Serious personal injury and property damage can result from falling forward as your scooter decelerates quickly unless you brace yourself firmly.

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 recognizes 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.

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

νAvoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.

νAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

νIf you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)

Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (curbs, 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 backwards down any step, curb, or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
