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 push-bar.

νDrive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and slowly rearward 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 an 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.

LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS

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

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

BATTERIES

In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.

WARNING! Scooter batteries are heavy (refer to specifications table). Lifting weight beyond your capacity could result in personal injury. If necessary, get someone physically able to lift the scooter batteries for you.

WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.

WARNING! RED (+) cables must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Failure to connect your battery cables in the proper manner may result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.

BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING

If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and call your autho- rized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal. Your authorized Pride Provider will also have the neces- sary information on battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
