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.
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle. The scooter should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and/ or properly secured. In addition, all removable scooter parts, including the armrests, seat, and shroud should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transport.
WARNING! Although your scooter 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 scooter while it is in a moving vehicle.
WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its batteries are properly secured when it is being transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position and protective caps should be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be transported with any flammable or combustible items.
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips when getting onto and off of your scooter:
Ensure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See III. “Your Scooter.” Make certain that the seat is fixed into place.
Pivot the armrests up to make getting onto and off of the scooter easier.
WARNING! Before transferring, remove the key from the key switch to prevent unintended movement.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the scooter from tipping.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the scooter armrests and do not use the armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the scooter to tip, resulting in a fall from the scooter.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the floorboard. Such use may cause the scooter to tip.
