II. SAFETY
It is imperative that you read this entire manual and understand all of the safety precautions before you attempt to
operate your new Celebrity for the first time.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
n Do not leave the key in the switch when your Celebrity is unattended.
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and that the key is removed from the key switch before getting
on or off of your Celebrity, and make certain that the seat is in a locked position when you are operating your
Scooter.
n Reduce your Celebritys speed when you are operating it on uneven terrain, soft surfaces, and around a
corner.
n Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or incline and when driving near a
raised surface or unprotected ledges and drop offs (kerbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
n Use extreme caution when operating your Celebrity on busy streets and in parking lots or shopping malls.
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 Make certain that your Celebritys batteries are properly secured when you are transporting your Scooter in
another vehicle.
n Disconnect your Celebritys batteries if you will not be using your Scooter for more than 48 hours.
n 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 (rain, snow, mist, or wash) at any
time. Such exposure can damage the electronics.
Never attempt to ride a Scooter that has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
Do not operate or store your 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/van
lift). Attempting to operate your Scooter in such conditions can damage the electronics and
potentially result in loss of control.
Do not operate your Scooter in icy or slippery conditions or on salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads).
Such use may result in an accident, personal injury, or adversely affect the performance
and/or safety of your Scooter.
Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery.
This will damage the battery and may cause personal injury. Charging a battery in freezing
conditions does not prevent the battery from freezing.

II. SAFETY
As you begin to use your Celebrity during your daily activities, you will encounter situations that may require some
practice. Simply take your time as you operate your Scooter and you will soon be in full and confident control as
you maneuver through doorways, on and off of 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 slowly forward to push the door open; or drive your Scooter 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 your Scooter to reopen the door.
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Celebrity accessories do not become caught in the elevator doors.
RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe scooter
access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require you to have good cornering skills on your Celebrity.
n Take wide swings with your Scooters front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the rear wheels
will follow a wide arc and will not cut the corner short, bump into, or get hung up on any railing corners.
n When driving down a ramp, keep your Celebritys speed adjustment dial (see IV. Description) set to the
tortoise (slowest speed setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent.
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, 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.
Controlled incline testing was conducted with the Celebritys seat in the highest position, adjusted backward on the
seat base to the farthest rearward position. These tests show that 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.

II. SAFETY
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.
CAUTION! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this
manual.
Figure 3. Normal Driving Position
Figure 4. Increased Stability Driving Position
DRIVING SURFACES
Your Celebrity was designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will operate your
Scooter on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. For that reason, we also designed your Celebrity to perform
admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.
n Feel free to use your Celebrity safely on lawns and in park areas.
n Avoid tall grass that can entangle 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.

IV. DESCRIPTION
Your Celebrity is an indoor/outdoor motorized electric scooter designed to enhance your personal mobility. It was
designed to travel primarily on smooth surfaces such as sidewalks, roads, parking lots, floors, and driveways. For
easy transportation or storage, you can disassemble your Celebrity into seven components. See figure 6. To
decrease the rear section weight or to charge your batteries while your Scooter is disassembled, you can also
remove the utility tray and its subcomponents from the rear section. For further information on disassembly, see
VIII. Disassembly and Assembly. For further information on charging your batteries while your scooter is
disassembled, see V. Batteries and Charging.
