Perform the following inspections prior to using your Travel Scooter:
!Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on each tire if equipped with pneumatic tyres.
!Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
!Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.
!Check the brakes.
!Check battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
TIRE INFLATION
If your Travel Scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your Travel Scooter.
WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tire be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your Travel Scooter tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire.
NOTE: If the tires on your Travel Scooter list the psi rating only, use the following conversion formu-
las to find the bar or kPa rating: bar=psi x 0.06895, kPa= psi x 6.89476.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your Travel Scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your Travel Scooter. Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty. Pride will not be held responsible for injuries and/ or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your Travel Scooter. Carrying passengers on your Travel Scooter may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks
!Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
!Take wide swings with your Travel Scooter around any tight corners. If you do that, the Travel Scooter’s rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
!When driving down a ramp, keep the Travel Scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent.
!Avoid sudden stops and starts.
