OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES

Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry, level surfaces com- posed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encoun- ter other surface types. For this reason, your scooter is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your scooter safely on lawns and in park areas.

νReduce your scooter’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.

νAvoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.

νAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

νIf you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.

STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)

WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.).

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is inordinately high. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.

WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed backward down any step, curb, or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.

WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 2 in.

BRAKING INFORMATION

Your scooter is equipped with two powerful brake systems:

1.Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/ stop position; and

2.Disc Park Brake: Activates mechanically after regenerative braking slows the vehicle to near stop, or when power is removed from the system for any reason.
