I I . S A F E T Y

Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:

!Check for proper tyre inflation 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.

Weight Limitations

Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.

WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal injury and damage to your scooter. 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 scooter. Carrying passengers may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

Tyre Inflation

If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tyres and help ensure the smooth operation of your scooter.

WARNING! It is critically important that 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure be maintained in pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to maintain 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

WARNING! Inflate your scooter tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tyre and/or personal injury.

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 (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills on your scooter.

!Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.

!Take wide swings with your scooter around any tight corners. If you do that, the 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 scooter’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent.

!Avoid sudden stops and starts.

When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, do so by setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest setting and driving in the forward direction only. If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the throttle control lever. Then push the throttle control lever forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
