II. SAFETY
GENERAL
WARNING! Do not operate your new scooter for the first time without completely reading
and understanding this owners manual.
Your 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 authorized 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.
MODIFICATIONS
Your scooter has been designed and engineered to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of accessories 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.
WARNING! Do not modify your scooter in any way. Unauthorized modifications may result
in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
REMOVABLE PARTS
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a scooter by any of its removable parts. Personal
injury and damage to the scooter may result.

II. SAFETY
PRE-RIDE SAFETY CHECK
Get to know the feel of your scooter and its capabilities. It is recommended that you perform a safety check before
each use to make sure your scooter operates smoothly and safely. For details on how to perform these necessary
inspections, see XI. Care and Maintenance.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:
n Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain 30-35 psi in each tire (if equipped with pneumatic tires).
n Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
n Check all controller connections to the utility tray. Make sure they are secured properly.
n Check the brakes.
n Check battery charge.
TIRE INFLA TION (If Equipped With Pneumatic Tires)
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once
a week. 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 30-35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic
tires at all times. Failure to maintain 30-35 psi tire pressure in pneumatic tires at all times
may result in catastrophic tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or
damage to your scooter.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter drive tires from a regulated air source with an available
pressure gauge. Minimum air pressure for scooter drive tires is 30-35 psi. Inflating your
tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tire and/or
personal injury.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride provider for assistance.
WEIGHT LIMIT ATIONS
Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight limit of 400 lbs.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight limit 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 on your scooter
may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
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.
n Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.
n Take wide swings with your scooters front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the scooters 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 scooters speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a
safely controlled descent. See V. Your Rally Shopper.
n Avoid sudden stops and starts.
Rally Shopper

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 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 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! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas
covered with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in freewheel
mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not
necessarily share the same standard degree of slope. Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed
specifically for scooters. Figure 1 illustrates your scooters stability and its ability to climb grades under various
weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
These tests were conducted with the scooters seat in the highest position and adjusted backward on the seat base
to its farthest rearward position. Use this information as a guideline. Your scooters 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 2 and 2A. This shifts the center of gravity of
you and your scooter toward the front of the scooter for improved stability.
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in
this manual.
Figure 2. Normal Driving Position
Figure 2A. Increased Stability Driving Position
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 cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at
higher speeds, do not cor ner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.
To avoid personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when
cornering.

II. SAFETY
OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes 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.
n Reduce your scooters speed when driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
n Avoid tall grass that can become tangled in the running gear.
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
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. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed backward down any step, curb, or
other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.
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.

II. SAFETY
MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Currently, there are no standards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle of any type to transport a
person while seated in a scooter.
Although your scooter may be equipped with a positioning belt, this belt is not designed to provide proper restraint
during motor vehicle transport. Anyone traveling in a motor vehicle should be properly secured in the motor vehicle
seat with safety belts fastened securely.
WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injur y and/or
property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your scooter and its batteries are properly secured when it is
being transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your
scooter.
GETTING ONTO AND OFF OF YOUR SCOOTER
Getting onto and off of your scooter requires a good sense of balance. Please observe the following safety tips
when getting onto and off of your scooter:
n Power down your scooter. See VII. Operation.
n Ensure that your scooter is not in freewheel mode. See V. Your Rally Shopper.
n Make certain that the seat is locked into place and the key is removed from the key switch.
n The seat armrests can be flipped up to make getting onto and off of your scooter easier.
WARNING! Position yourself as far back as possible in the scooter seat to prevent the
scooter from tipping and causing injury.

II. SAFETY
REACHING AND BENDING
Avoid reaching or bending while driving your scooter. When reaching, bending, or leaning while seated on your
scooter, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the scooter from tipping. It is recommended
that the scooter user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a
qualified healthcare professional.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the
floor by reaching down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your
center of gravity and the weight distribution of the scooter and cause your scooter to tip,
possibly resulting in personal injur y. Keep your hands away from the tires when driving.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS/PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS
The scooter user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her scooter. This includes awareness of
safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.

III. EMI/RFI
EMI/RFI WARNINGS
Laboratory tests performed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have shown that radio waves can cause
unintended motion of electric mobility vehicles. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). When
electromagnetic energy adversely affects the operation of an electrical device, that adverse effect is called Electro-
magnetic Interference (EMI) or Radio Frequency Interference (RFI).
EMI/RFI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
The following FAQs summarize what you should know about EMI/RFI. Use this information to minimize the risk
that EMI/RFI will adversely affect your mobility vehicle.
Where do radio waves come from?
Radio waves are emitted from the antennas of cellular phones, mobile two-way radios (such as walkie-talkies and
CBs), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links, microwave sources,
and paging transmitters. Radio waves are a form of electromagnetic energy (EM). EM is more intense closer to
transmitting antennas, which are sources of emission. The greater the transmission strength, the greater the concern
to electric mobility vehicle users.
If EMI/RFI affects my mobility vehicle, what kind of motion should I expect?
This is difficult to predict. The answer would depend on a number of factors:
n The strength of the radio waves.
n The construction of your particular mobility vehicle.
n The location of your mobility vehicle (whether it is on the level ground or on an incline).
n Whether or not your mobility vehicle is in motion.
The motion of any electric mobility vehicle affected by EMI/RFI can be erratic. The mobility vehicle may come to
a sudden stop or move in an uncontrolled manner. Also, it is possible for EMI/RFI to release the brakes of an
electric mobility vehicle. Some intense EMI/RFI can even damage the control system components of an electric
mobility vehicle.
Is there any way to know for certain whether or not radio waves are the cause of any unintended
mobility vehicle motion?
Unfortunately, EMI/RFI may be difficult to recognize, because the signals from radio sources are invisible and may
be intermittent. However, the FDA recommends that you report all incidents of unintended motion or unintended
brake release of your mobility vehicle to its manufacturer and, if possible, determine whether or not there was a
radio wave source nearby at the time of the incident.
One precaution you can take against unintended motion of your mobility vehicle is to make certain that you or
someone else is not the cause of the unintended motion.
n Turn off your mobility vehicle by removing the key from the key switch when you are getting onto or off of your
mobility vehicle.
n Never leave the key in the key switch of an unattended mobility vehicle.
n By following these steps, you greatly reduce the risk of you or anyone else inadvertently bumping the throttle
control levers and causing the mobility vehicle to move unintentionally.
Has anyone been injured by the erratic, unintended motion of an electric mobility vehicle?
The FDA has reports of injuries that resulted from uncontrolled motion of electric mobility vehicles, but it is not
clear just how many of those injuries were actually caused by EMI/RFI.
Rally Shopper
15
III. EMI/RFI
Are all electric mobility vehicles susceptible to EMI/RFI?
Each make and model of electric mobility vehicle differs in its ability to resist EMI/RFI. Every mobility vehicle has
a particular level of resistance to EMI/RFI. This resistance is measured in volts per meter (V/m). A higher resistance level offers greater protection against EMI/RFI. In other words, an electric mobility vehicle with a high
resistance level is less likely to be affected by a strong radio source than is an electric mobility vehicle with a low
resistance level.
What is the FDA doing about the problem?
The FDA has written to electric mobility vehicle manufacturers and requested that those manufacturers test their
new mobility vehicle models to be certain that they provide a reasonable degree of resistance against EMI/RFI.
The FDA has stated that all newly manufactured electric mobility vehicle models should have a resistance level of
at least 20 V/m. This level of resistance provides a reasonable degree of protection against the common sources of
EMI/RFI.
The FDA has also requested or recommended that:
n Electric mobility vehicle manufacturers clearly label new products with their resistance level or state that the
resistance level is not known.
n The labeling or informational material supplied with new electric mobility vehicles must explain what the resis-
tance level means and warn users about the possibility of EMI/RFI and how to avoid it.
n Electric mobility vehicle manufacturers undertake an educational program to inform electric mobility vehicle
users and their caregivers about the problems associated with EMI/RFI and about the actions they can take to
minimize the risk of EMI/RFI.
n While there is no exact way to tell if your mobility vehicle is totally safe, an immunity level of 20 V/m is generally
achievable and useful. This product has been tested and passed at an immunity level of 20 V/m.
What can I do to find out if my mobility vehicle is likely to be affected by EMI/RFI?
If you have had your mobility vehicle for some time and have not experienced any unintended motion, it is not likely
that you will have a problem in the future. However, it is always possible that EMI/RFI problems could arise if you
are close to a source of radio waves. Therefore, it is very important for you to be alert to this possibility. The
mobility vehicle meets or exceeds a resistance level of at least 20 V/m.
What can I do to reduce the risk of my mobility vehicle being affected by EMI/RFI?
Here are some precautions you can take:
n Do not turn on or use hand-held personal communications devices, such as citizens band (CB) radios and
cellular phones, while your mobility vehicle is turned on.
n Be aware of nearby radio wave transmitters, such as radio or TV stations and hand-held or mobile two-way
radios. Try not to operate your mobility vehicle too close to those transmitters. For example, if you are on an
electric mobility vehicle with a resistance level of at least 20 V/m, you should remain at least three feet from a
hand-held two-way radio and at least ten feet from a mobile two-way radio.
n Be aware that adding accessories and/or components, or modifying your mobility vehicle in any way, may
change its EMI/RFI resistance level and may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources.
What should I do if my mobility vehicle moves unexpectedly?
If unintended motion or unintended brake release occurs, turn off your mobility vehicle (by removing the key) as
soon as it is safe to do so.
If my mobility vehicle moves unintentionally, where should I report the incident?
Call Pride Customer Care at 1-800-424-8205 to report the incident.

BATTERIES AND CHARGING-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
How does the charger work?
When your scooters 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 scooters batteries, but does not overcharge
them. We do not recommend that you charge your scooters batteries for more than 24 consecutive hours.
What if my scooters batteries wont charge?
n Ensure that the red (+) and black (-) battery cables are connected properly to the battery terminals.
n Ensure both battery harnesses that extend from the batteries are plugged into their mating harness leading to the
charger.
n Ensure that both ends of the charger power cord are inserted fully.
Can I use a different charger?
For the safest, most efficient, and balanced charging of your scooters batteries, we prefer and highly recommend
simultaneous charging of both batteries with the onboard battery charger.
How often must I charge the batteries?
Two major factors must be considered when deciding how often to charge your scooters batteries:
n All day scooter use on a daily basis.
n Infrequent or sporadic scooter use.
With these considerations in mind, you can determine how often and for how long you should charge your scooters
batteries. We designed the onboard charger so that it will not overcharge your scooters 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.
n If you use your scooter daily, charge its batteries as soon as you finish using it for the day. Your scooter will be
ready each morning to give you a full day of service. We recommend that you charge your scooters batteries
for 8 to 14 hours after daily use.
n 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.
n Keep your scooters batteries fully charged.
n Avoid deeply discharging your scooters batteries.
How can I ensure maximum battery life?
Fully charged deep-cycle batteries provide reliable performance and extended battery life. Keep your scooters
batteries fully charged whenever possible. Batteries that are regularly and deeply discharged, infrequently charged,
or stored without a full charge may be permanently damaged, causing unreliable performance and limited service life.
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.
Rally Shopper
25
VI. BATTERIES AND CHARGING
How can I get maximum range or distance per charge?
Rarely will you have ideal driving conditionssmooth, 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.
n Always fully charge your scooters batteries prior to daily use.
n Plan your route ahead to avoid as many hills, cracked, broken, or soft surfaces as possible.
n Limit your baggage weight to essential items.
n Try to maintain an even speed while your scooter is in motion.
n Avoid stop-and-go driving.
What type and size of battery should I use?
We recommend deep-cycle batteries that are sealed and maintenance free. Both sealed lead-acid and gel cell are
deep-cycle batteries that are similar in performance. Do not use wet-cell batteries, which have removable caps.
CAUTION! Do not remove the caps from sealed batteries. Water cannot be added to sealed
batteries. Cap removal voids the battery warranty and may cause damage to the batteries
and to your scooter.
Use these specifications to reorder deep-cycle batteries:
Type: Deep-cycle (sealed lead-acid or gel cell)
Size: U-1 (32 AH)
Voltage: 12 volts each
Amperage: 32 AH
To change a battery in your scooter:
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
1. Remove the seat and rear shroud.
2. Disconnect the battery tie-down strap.
3. Disconnect the battery harness.
4. Disconnect the battery cables from the battery terminals.
5. Remove the old battery.
6. Place a new battery in the battery well.
7. Connect the red battery cable to the positive (+) battery terminal.
8. Connect the black battery cable to the negative (-) battery terminal.
9. Reconnect the battery harness.
10. Reconnect the battery tie-down strap.
11. Reinstall the rear shroud and seat.
BATTERY DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING
If you encounter a damaged or cracked battery, immediately enclose it in a plastic bag and call your authorized
Pride provider for instructions on disposal. Your authorized Pride provider will also have the necessary information
on battery recycling, which is our recommended course of action.
26 Rally Shopper
VI. 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.
We work closely with our battery manufacturer to provide batteries that best suit your scooters specific electrical
demands. Fresh batteries arrive daily at Pride and 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 scooters batteries to stabilize 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 batterys peak performance and long life.
Follow these steps to properly break-in your scooters 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 scooters controls and have properly
broken in your scooters 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.
How should I store my scooter and its batteries?
If you plan on not using your scooter for an extended period of time, it is best to:
n Fully charge its batteries prior to storage.
n Disconnect both battery harnesses.
n Store your scooter in a warm, dry environment.
n Avoid storing your scooter where it will be exposed to temperature extremes.
WARNING! If your scooters batteries do become frozen, do not attempt to charge them.
Cold or frozen batteries should be allowed to warm up for several days prior to recharging.
For prolonged storage, you may wish to place several boards under the frame of your scooter to raise it off of the
ground. This takes the weight off the tires and reduces the possibility of flat spots developing on the areas of the
tires contacting the ground.
