GENERAL
MANDA TOR Y! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading
and understanding this owner’s manual.
Y our scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility . Pride provides an
extensive variety of products to best fit the individual needs of the scooter user . Please be aware that the final
selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of scooter to be used is the responsibility of the scooter
user who is capable of making such a decision and his/her healthcare professional (i.e., medical doctor, physical
therapist, etc.).
The contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a mobility device expert has properly fitted the
scooter to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorised Pride Dealer in
the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the scooter user will need to practice
operating the scooter in the presence of a trained attendant. A trained attendant can be defined as a family member
or care professional specially trained in assisting a scooter user in various daily living activities.
As you begin using your scooter during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in which you will
need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident control as you manoeuvre
through doorways, on and off lifts, up and down ramps and over moderate terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed to operating the scooter safely .
MODIFICATIONS
Pride has designed and engineered your scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility . However, under no
circumstances should you modify , add, remove or disable any feature, part or function of your scooter.
WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorised by Pride. Do not use
accessories if they have not been tested or approved for Pride products.
REMOVABLE PARTS
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move your scooter by any of its removable parts,
including the armrests, seat or shroud.
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety check before
each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely .
Colt www.pridemobility.com

Page 10
II. SAFETY
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.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride Dealer for assistance.
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.
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.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Y our scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity . Refer to the specifications table for information.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your 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 scooter. Carrying passengers on your scooter
may affect the centre 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 (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.
! T ake 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.
! A void sudden stops and starts.
10
www.pridemobility.com Colt
Page 11
II. SAFETY
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.
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in freewheel
mode, especially when seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the
incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a
tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! Do not drive your scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down
an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas
covered with snow, ice, cut grass or wet leaves).
WARNING! Even though your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than those
illustrated in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or
any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your
scooter .
Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not
necessarily share the same standard percent of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed
specifically for scooters. Figure 1 illustrates your scooter’s stability and its ability to climb grades under various
weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the scooter’s seat in the highest position and adjusted rearward on the seat base
to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your scooter’s ability to travel up inclines is
affected by your weight, your scooter’s speed, your angle of approach to the incline and your scooter setup.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figure
1 may put your scooter in an unstable position and cause it to tip.
WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs (6.8 kg). Never fill the
front or rear basket with contents exceeding 6.8 kg (15 lbs.).

II. SAFETY
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the centre of gravity of
you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability .
NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the
powered scooter may "roll back" approximately 30.48 cm (1 foot) before the brake engages. If the
throttle control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered scooter may "roll back" approximately 1 metre (3 feet) before the brake engages.

CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of
tipping include, but are not limited to, cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are turning), uneven road
surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of high traction (such as passing from
a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning) and abrupt directional changes. High
cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and
steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your scooter from tipping.
WARNING!
gravity. When using your scooter at higher speeds, do not cor ner sharply. This greatly
reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. Always exercise common sense when cornering.
When cor nering shar ply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable centre of
BRAKING INFORMATION
Y our scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:
! Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the centre/
stop position.
! 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.

II. SAFETY
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Y our scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions—dry , level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop or tarmac. However, Pride recognises that there will be times when you will encounter
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.
! Reduce your scooter’s speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
! A void tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
! A void loosely packed gravel and sand.
! If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! Exercise extreme caution when operating the scooter on footpaths, pavements,
bridleways, pedestrian areas and roads. Obey the Code of Practice for Class 3 vehicle
users.
NOTE: A copy of the Department of Transport ation, Code of Practice for Class 3 vehicle users, may be
obtained by contacting your authorised Pride Dealer.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (kerbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is
inordinately high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed rearward down any step, kerb or
other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.
WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any kerb you may be required
to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a kerb that has a height greater than 5 cm (2 in.).

II. SAFETY
INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS
Exposure of your scooter to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly
caught up in rain, snow , severe cold or heat while operating your scooter, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity . Thoroughly dry your scooter before storing, charging or operating your scooter .
PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow , salt, mist/spray conditions and on icy/slippery surfaces
can cause damage to the scooter and electrical system. Maintain and store your scooter
in a dry and clean condition.
WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of
upholstered and non-upholstered items on the scooter, possibly resulting in skin irritation.
Exercise caution when using your scooter in extremely hot or cold conditions or when
exposing your scooter to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
FREEWHEEL MODE
Y our scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when engaged, allows the scooter to be pushed. For
more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see III. “Y our Scooter .”
WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
! Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
! Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
! Stand to the side of the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on
a scooter to do this.
! After you have finished pushing your scooter , always return it to the drive mode to lock
the brakes.
An added feature built into the scooter is “push-too-fast” protection which safeguards the scooter against gaining
excessive speed while in freewheel mode.
“Push-too-fast” operates differently depending on which of two conditions exists:
! If the key is switched “off” while in freewheel mode, the scooter’s controller activates regenerative braking
when the scooter is pushed faster than a maximum threshold which has been preprogrammed. In this case, the
controller is acting as a speed governor.
! If the key is switched “on” while in freewheel mode, you will encounter considerable resistance at any speed.
This prevents the scooter from gaining unwanted momentum should the manual freewheel lever inadvertently
be released while driving the scooter.
STAIRS AND ESCALATORS
Scooters are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use a lift.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators.
DOORS
! Determine if the door opens toward or away from you.
! Use your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
! Drive your scooter gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your scooter gently and slowly
rearwards to pull the door open.

II. SAFETY
LIFTS
Modern lifts have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
! If you are in the doorway of a lift 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.
! Use care that handbags, packages or scooter accessories do not become caught in lift doors.
NOTE: If your scooter’s turning radius is greater than 152.4 cm (60 in.), it may be difficult to manoeuvre
in lifts and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or manoeuvre your scooter in small
spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
LIFT/ELEVATION PRODUCTS
If you will be traveling with your scooter, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product to aid in transpor tation. Pride recommends that you closely review the instructions, specifications and safety information set forth by
the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product.
WARNING! Never sit on your scooter when it is being used in connection with
any type of lift/elevation product. Your scooter was not designed with such use
in mind and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility
of Pride.
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below , be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
MANDA T OR Y! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash
hands after handling.
WARNING! Scooter batteries are heavy . See specifications table. If you are unable
to lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and
avoid lifting beyond your capacity.

ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves
can have an adv erse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile twoway radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless
computer links, microwave signals, paging transmitters and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency
vehicles. In some cases, these waves can cause unintended movement or damage to the control system. Every
electrically-powered mobility vehicle has an immunity (or resistance) to EMI. The higher the immunity level, the
greater the protection against EMI. This product has been tested and has passed at an immunity level of 20 V/M.
WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops and other types of radio
transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility vehicle
due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your mobility
vehicle and avoid coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered mobility
vehicle can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your scooter in
any way not authorised by Pride.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the perfor mance
of other electrical devices located nearby, suc h as alarm systems.
NOTE: For further information on EMI/RFI, visit the Resource Center on www.pridemobility.com. If

IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the charger work?
When your scooter’s battery voltage is low , the charger works harder , sending more electrical current to the
batteries to bring up their charge. As the batteries approach a full charge, the charger sends less and less electrical
current. When the batteries are fully charged, the current sent from the charger is at nearly zero amperage. Therefore, when the charger is plugged in, it maintains the charge on your scooter’s batteries, but does not overchar ge
them. W e do not recommend that you charge your scooter’ s batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
Can I use a different charger?
Chargers are selected precisely for particular applications and are especially matched to the type, size and chemical formulation of specific batteries. For the safest and most efficient charging of your scooter’s batteries we
recommend only use of the charger supplied as original equipment with your Pride product. Any charging method
resulting in batteries being charged individually is especially prohibited.
What if my scooter’s batteries won’t charge?
! Ensure the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.
! Ensure both battery harnesses that extend from the batteries are plugged into their mating harness leading to
the charger .
! Ensure both ends of the charger power lead are inserted fully .
How often must I charge the batteries?
T wo major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your scooter’s batteries:
! All day scooter use on a daily basis.
! Infrequent or sporadic scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooter’ s
batteries. W e designed the off-board char ger so that it will not overcharge your scooter’s batteries. However , you
may encounter some problems if you do not charge your batteries often enough and if you do not charge them on
a regular basis.
Following the guidelines below will provide safe and reliable battery operation and charging.
! If you use your scooter daily , charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day . Y our scooter will be
ready each morning. W e recommend that you charge your scooter’s batteries for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
! If you use your scooter once a week or less, charge its batteries at least once a week for 12 to 14 hours at a time.
! Keep your scooter’s batteries fully charged.
! A void deeply discharging your scooter’s batteries.
26

Page 27
IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your scooter’s
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Protect your scooter and batteries from extreme heat or cold. Batteries
that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures or stored without a
full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditions—smooth, flat, hard driving surfaces with no wind or curves. Often,
you will face hills, pavement cracks, uneven and loosely packed surfaces, curves and wind, all of which affect the
distance or running time per battery charge. Below are a few suggestions for obtaining the maximum range per
battery charge.
! Always fully charge your scooter’s batteries prior to daily use.
! Maintain 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) in pneumatic tyre.
! Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken or soft surfaces as possible.
! Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
! Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.
! A void stop-and-go driving.
What type and size of battery should I use?
W e recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both AGM and Gel-Cell are deepcycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.
WARNING! Corrosive chemicals are contained in batteries. Use only AGM or Gel-Cell
batteries to reduce the risk of leakage or explosive conditions.
NOTE: Sealed batteries are not serviceable. Do not remove the caps.
How do I change a battery in my scooter?
MANDA T OR Y! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash
hands after handling.
WARNING! Always use two batteries of the exact same type, chemistry and amphour (Ah) capacity. Refer to the specifications table in this manual and in the
manual supplied with the battery charger for recommended type and capacities.
WARNING! Contact your authorised Pride Dealer if you have any questions regarding
the batteries in your scooter .
WARNING! Do not replace the batteries while the scooter is occupied.
WARNING! The batteries on your scooter should only be serviced or replaced by
an authorised Pride Dealer or a qualified technician.

IV. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
Why do my new batteries seem weak?
Deep-cycle batteries employ a different chemical technology than that used in car batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries (nicads) and other common battery types. Deep-cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide power,
drain down their charge and then accept a relatively quick recharge.
W e work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your scooter’s specific electrical
demands. Fresh batteries are shipped fully charged to our customers. During shipping, the batteries may encounter
temperature extremes that can influence their initial performance. Heat diminishes the charge on the battery; cold
slows the available power and extends the time needed to recharge the battery .
It may take a few days for the temperature of your scooter’s batteries to stabilise and adjust to their new room or
ambient temperature. More importantly , it takes a few charging cycles (partial draining followed by full recharging)
to establish the critical chemical balance that is essential to a deep-cycle battery’s peak performance and long life.
Follow these steps to properly break in your scooter’s new batteries for maximum efficiency and service life.
1. Fully recharge any new battery prior to its initial use. This charging cycle brings the battery up to about 88% of
its peak performance level.
2. Operate your new scooter in familiar and safe areas. Drive slowly at first, and do not travel too far from your
home or familiar surroundings until you have become accustomed to your scooter’s controls and have properly
broken in your scooter’s batteries.
3. Fully recharge the batteries. They should be at over 90% of their peak performance level.
4. Operate your scooter again.
5. Fully recharge the batteries again.
6. After four or five charging cycles, the batteries are able to receive a charge of 100% of their peak performance
level and are able to last for an extended period of time.
What about public transportation?
If you intend to use public transportation with your scooter, you must contact the transportation provider in advance to determine their specific requirements.

STORING YOUR SCOOTER
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
1. Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
2. Disconnect the batteries from the scooter.
3. Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.
4. Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen
battery. Charging a frozen battery can result in damage to the battery .
Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged, stored in extreme temperatures or stored
without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life. It is
recommended that you charge the scooter batteries periodically throughout periods of prolonged storage to ensure
proper performance.
Y ou may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise it off of the ground during periods
of prolonged storage. This takes the weight off the tyres and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the
areas of the tyres contacting the ground.
DISPOSAL OF YOUR SCOOTER
Y our scooter must be disposed of according to applicable local and national statutory regulations. Contact your
local waste disposal agency or authorised Pride Dealer for information on proper disposal of packaging, metal
