WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair climb or descend an obstacle that is higher than two inches unless you have the assistance of an attendant.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair proceed rearward down any step, kerb, or other obstacle. This may cause the power chair to tip and cause personal injury.

Public Streets and Roadways

WARNING! You should not operate your power chair on public streets and roadways. Be aware that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your power chair. Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.

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. You may cause injury to yourself and to others and/or damage your power chair.

Doors

νDetermine if the door opens toward or away from you.

νDrive your power chair gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your power chair gently and slowly rearward to pull the door open.

Elevators

Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator 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 power chair and the door will reopen.

νUse care that pocketbooks, packages, or power chair accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.

Electromagnetic Fields

Your power chair’s road performance features may be influenced by electromagnetic fields caused by mobile telephones or other radiating devices, such as hand-held radios, radio and television stations, wireless computer links, microwave sources, and paging transmitters.

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 transportation. 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.

Motor Vehicle Transport

Although your power chair may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt was not designed with the intent of providing proper restraint during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in his/her seat with seat belts approved by the vehicle manufacturer.

Make sure to secure or remove the batteries before loading your power chair into a motor vehicle for transport.
