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.

Lift/Elevation Products

If you will be traveling with your power chair, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in transporta- tion. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.

WARNING! Never sit on your power chair when it is being used in connection with any type of lift/ elevation product. Your power chair was not designed with such use in mind and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility of Pride.

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 batteries removed and properly secured.

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

WARNING! Always be sure your power chair 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.

Positioning Belts

Your authorized Pride Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your re- quirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your power chair safely.

WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your power chair, make sure it is fastened securely in order to reduce the possibility of a fall from the power chair.

WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is your power chair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should be properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
