OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level sur- faces composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.

Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.

Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear. Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

Do not use your scooter in fresh or salt water.

Do not use your scooter at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean. If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS

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

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)

WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.).

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is inordinately high.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed backward down any step, curb, or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.

WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 4.

WARNING! Even though your scooter may be capable of handling greater obstacles, Pride recommends that you do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 2 in. (5 cm). Doing so could cause instability in your scooter.
