GENERAL

MANDATORY! Do not operate your new PMV for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owner’s manual.

Your PMV is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility. Pride provides an extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the PMV user. Please be aware that the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of PMV to be used is the responsibility of the PMV user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical therapist, etc.).

There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the PMV user will need to practice operat- ing the PMV in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member or care professional specially trained in assisting a PMV user in various daily living activities.

As you begin using your PMV during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off of elevators, up and down ramps, and over moderate terrain.

Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to operating the PMV safely.
