ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
!If you are in the doorway of a elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the PMV and the door will reopen.
!Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or PMV accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
NOTE: If your PMV’s turning radius is greater than 60 in. it may be difficult to maneuver in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your PMV in small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your PMV, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in transpor- tation. 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.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
WARNING! PMV batteries are heavy (refer to specifications table). Lifting weight beyond your capacity could result in personal injury. If necessary, get someone physically able to lift the PMV batteries for you.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
