ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the scooter and the door will reopen.
Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
NOTE: If your scooter’s turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152.4 cm), it may be difficult to maneuver in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your scooter in small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS

WARNING! Not all lift systems/elevation products are rated for use with an occupied mobility device. Pride recommends that you do not remain seated on your scooter when it is being used in connection with any type of lift system/elevation product unless:
That product is rated for occupied use by the manufacturer.
You are able to occupy your mobility device in strict conformity with the warnings, instructions, specifications, and safety guidelines set forth by the manufacturer.
WARNING! Always turn off the power to the unit when you are being transferred via an elevation product. Failure to do so may result in accidental throttle control lever contact, resulting in unintended movement and personal injury or product damage.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Scooter batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting beyond your capacity.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK
BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag. Contact your local waste disposal agency or your authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
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.
