II. SAFETY
GENERAL
Y our scooter is a state-of-the-art life-enhancement device designed to increase mobility . Pride provides an exten-
sive 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 authorized Pride Provider 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 maneuver
through doorways, on and off elevators, 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 . A wide range of acces-
sories is available from your authorized Pride Provider to further customize your scooter to better suit your needs
and/or preferences. However, under no circumstances should you modify , add, remove, or disable any feature,
part, or function of your scooter .
MANDA TOR Y! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading
and understanding this owner’s manual.
WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way not authorized 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.

II. SAFETY
Perform the following inspections prior to using your 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 tires.
! 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.
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.
TIRE INFLATION
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked regularly .
Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your scooter.
WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure r ating indicated on
the 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 the pneumatic tires at
all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them.
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 w eight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter . Carrying passengers on your scooter
may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Y our scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity . Refer to the specifications table for information.
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 .
NOTE: If the tire on your scooter lists the psi rating only, use the following conversion formulas to find
the bar or kPa rating: bar = psi x 0.06895; kPa = psi x 6.89476.

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! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figures 1, 1A,
and 1B 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
rear basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs. (6.8 kg).
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. Figures 1, 1A, and 1B illustrate 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! When on any sort of an incline or decline, ne ver 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 .

II. SAFETY
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!
When cor nering sharpl y, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of
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 you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 2A. This shifts the center 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 1 foot (30.48 cm) before the brake engages. If the
throttle control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered scooter may "roll back" approxi-
mately 3 feet (1 meter) before the brake engages.
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 center/
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 com-
posed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will encoun-
ter 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! Y ou should not operate your scooter on public streets and roadways. Be aware
that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter. Obey all
local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with
extreme caution.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, CURBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges, and/or drop-offs (curbs,
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 backward down any step, curb, or
other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip.
Figure 3. Correct Curb Approach Figure 3A. Incorrect Curb Approach
WARNING! Be sure your scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required
to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 3A.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 2 in. (5 cm).

II. SAFETY
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 one 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 driv e 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 an elevator.
WARNING! Do not use your scooter to negotiate steps or escalators.
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 personal injury and/or 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.
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
backwards to pull the door open.

II. SAFETY
ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the door(s).
! 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.
! Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or scooter accessories do not become caught in elevator doors.
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 suc h use
in mind and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility
of Pride.
NOTE: If your scooter’s turning radius is greater than 60 in. (152.4 cm), it may be difficult to maneuver
in elevators and building entrances. Use caution when attempting to turn or maneuver your scooter in
small spaces, and avoid areas that might pose a problem.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen
battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery .
MANDATORY! Ba ttery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling 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 y our capacity.
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner . RED (+) cables
must be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables
must be connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Protective caps should
be installed over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.
BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery , immediately enclose it in a plastic bag. Contact your local waste
disposal agency or authorized Pride Provider for instructions on disposal and battery recycling, which is our
recommended course of action.
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period
of time, turn off the power . This will prevent une xpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact.
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
BATTERIES
In addition to following the warnings below , be sure to comply with all other battery handling information.
