NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride Provider for assistance.

Weight Limitations

Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit.

WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.

WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your power chair. Carrying passengers on your power chair may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

Tyre Inflation

If your power chair is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tyres and help ensure the smooth operation of your power chair.

WARNING! It is important that 2—2.4 bar/ 30—35 psi tyre pressure be maintained in pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to maintain 2—2.4 bar/30—35 psi tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.

WARNING! When changing a tyre, remove only the center lug nut, then remove the tyre. If any further disassembly is required, deflate the tyre completely or it may explode, possibly resulting in personal injury.

WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tyre and/or personal injury.

Incline Information

More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your power chair.

νProceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.

νTake wide swings with your power chair’s front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the power chair’s rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.

νWhen driving down a ramp, keep the power chair’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent. See VIII. “Operation.”

νAvoid sudden stops and starts.

When climbing an incline, try to keep your power chair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, set your power chair to the slowest setting and drive in the forward direction only. If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick, then push the joystick forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
