MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT

Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a person while seated in a PMV.

Although your PMV may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint during motor vehicle transport.Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle seat with safety belts fastened securely.

WARNING! Do not sit on your PMV while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or property damage may result.

WARNING! Always be sure your PMV and its batteries are properly secured when it is being transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your PMV.

PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT

WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle control lever contact. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR PMV

Getting onto and off of your PMV requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips when getting onto and off of your PMV:

!Remove the key from the key switch.

!Ensure that your PMV is not in freewheel mode. See V. “Your PMV.”

!Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.

!Flip the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the PMV easier.

WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the PMV seat to prevent the PMV from tipping and causing injury.

WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the PMV to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the PMV to tip and cause personal injury.

REACHING AND BENDING

Avoid reaching or bending while driving your PMV. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated on your PMV, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the PMV from tipping. Pride recommends that the PMV user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a quali- fied healthcare professional.

WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution of the PMV and cause your PMV to tip, possibly resulting in personal injury. Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.

WARNING! Prevent personal injury! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware that loose fitting clothing can become caught in drive tires.
