GENERAL

MANDATORY! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual.

Your scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter user, who is capable of making such a decision, and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).

The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized Pride Provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.

There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will need to practice operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various daily living activities.

As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.

Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed to operating the scooter safely.

MODIFICATIONS

Pride has designed and engineered your scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of accessories is available from Pride to further customize your power chair to better suit your needs and/ or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify, add, remove, or disable any feature, part, or function of your scooter.

WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorized by Pride. Do not use accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride products.

REMOVABLE PARTS

WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your scooter by any of its removable parts, including the armrests, seat, or shroud. Pride recommends use of only solid, non- removable frame components such as scooter securement points or the front and rear frame weldments to lift or move your scooter.

WARNING! Lifting the scooter should be accomplished with no fewer than three people, one at the front and two at the rear of the unit.

PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK

Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely.
