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. For details on how to perform these necessary inspections, see XII. “Care and Maintenance.”

Perform the following inspections prior to using your Scooter:

νCheck for proper tire inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).

νCheck all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.

νCheck all controller connections to the utility tray. Make sure they are secured properly.

νCheck the brakes.

νCheck battery charge.

WARNING! It is critically important that 30-35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure in pneumatic tires at all times may result in catastrophic tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your Scooter.

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

If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride provider for assistance.

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

Your Scooter is rated for a 300-lb. maximum weight limit.

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

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 Scooter.

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

νTake wide swings with your Scooter’s front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the Scooter’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 Scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent. See V. “Your Legend.”

νAvoid sudden stops and starts.
