II. SAFETY
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
n Do not operate your new Celebrity for the first time without completely reading and understanding this owners
manual.
n Do not carry passengers on your Celebrity.
n Do not leave the key in the key switch when your Celebrity is unattended.
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch before mounting or
dismounting your Celebrity. Also make certain that the seat is in a locked position when you operate your
Celebrity.
n Reduce your Celebritys speed when driving on uneven terrain and soft surfaces.
n Reduce your Celebritys speed when cornering.
n Never drive your Celebrity across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a hill, and do not stop, if possible,
while driving up or down an incline.
n Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and drop offs (curbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
n Never remove your Celebritys anti-tip wheels or modify the Celebrity in any way not authorized by Pride.
n Use extreme caution when operating your Celebrity on busy streets and in parking lots or shopping malls and
never ride your Celebrity where you cannot walk safely and legally. Consult local authorities with regard to
operating your Celebrity on public roadways.
n Do not operate your Celebrity while you are under the influence of alcohol.
n Check with your physician if you are taking any medications that may affect your ability to operate your
Celebrity safely.
n Keep your hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard when you are operating your Celebrity.
n Make certain that the tyres are properly inflated (30 psi).
n Never use your Celebrity as a seat in a moving vehicle.
n Make certain that the Celebritys batteries are properly secured when you transport your Scooter in another
vehicle.
n Disconnect your Celebritys batteries if you will not be using the Scooter for more than 48 hours.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist, or
washing the Scooter). Such exposure can damage the electronics. Never attempt to ride a Scooter
that has been exposed to moisture until it has dried.
WARNING! Do not operate or store the Scooter where it may be exposed to inclement weather
conditions such as rain, snow, mist, and below-freezing temperatures (such as storage on an
outside car or van lift). Attempting to operate the Scooter in such conditions can damage the
electronics and potentially result in loss of control.
WARNING! Do not operate a Scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces (i.e.,
pavement or roads). Such use may result in an accident, personal injury, or adversely affect the
performance and/or safety of your Scooter.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery.
This damages the battery and may cause personal injury. Attempting to charge a battery in
freezing conditions does not prevent a battery from freezing.

II. SAFETY
As you begin using your Celebrity during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations for which you will
need some practice negotiating on your Scooter. Simply take your time as you operate your Celebrity and you will
soon be in full and confident control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off elevators, up and down ramps,
and over moderate terrain.
DOORS
n Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
n Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
n Drive your Celebrity gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your Celebrity gently and
slowly backwards to pull the door open.
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
n 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.
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Celebrity accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination. These ramps are designed for easy and
safe Scooter access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require good cornering skills on your Celebrity.
n Take wide swings with your Celebritys front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the Celebritys
rear wheels will follow a wide arc, not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing
corners.
n When driving down a ramp, keep the Celebritys speed adjustment dial set to the tortoise (slowest speed
setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent. See IV. Description.
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.

II. SAFETY
Other inclines may be natural or man-made, and not designed specifically for Scooters. Figures 1 and 2 illustrate
your Celebritys stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing
conditions.
These tests were conducted with the Celebritys seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the seat
base to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your Celebritys ability to travel up
inclines is affected by your weight, your Scooters speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your Scooter
setup.
n When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 3 and 4. This shifts the center of gravity
of you and your Celebrity toward the front of the Scooter for improved stability.
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this
owners manual.
FIGURE 3. NORMAL DRIVING POSITION
DRIVING SURFACES
Your Celebrity was designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, level surfaces
composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will operate your
Celebrity on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. For that reason, we also designed your Celebrity to perform
admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your Celebrity safely on grounds and in park areas.
n Avoid tall grass that can become entangled in the running gear.
n Packed soil, gravel, driveways, or roads will not present a problem for your Celebrity.
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
DRIVING IN REVERSE
Before driving in reverse always check that your path is free of hazards such as curbs such as pedestrians, etc.
