II. SAFETY
You must read this entire manual and understand all of the safety precautions before you attempt to operate your
new Victory XL for the first time.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
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 the Scooter in such conditions can damage the
electronics and potentially result in loss of control.
Do not operate your Scooter where you cannot safely and legally walk. Use extreme caution when driving on busy streets, in parking lots, or in shopping malls. Always assume that
you cannot be seen by motor vehicle drivers.
Lock your seat into place and remove the key from the key switch before you get on or off of
your Scooter.
Lock the Scooter seat into position before you operate your Scooter.
Do not operate your Scooter with the seat in the reclined position (if so equipped).
Make certain that the tyres are properly inflated (30 psi).
Do not operate your Scooter while you are under the influence of alcohol. Operating powered vehicles while you are under the influence of alcohol impairs your ability to operate the
Scooter in a safe manner and may violate certain existing laws.
Do not operate your Scooter without first consulting your physician about any concerns you
have about physical limitations that could prevent you from safely operating your Scooter.
Do not operate your Scooter if you are taking medication which may impair your ability to
operate the Scooter in a safe manner.
Do not drive your Scooter across the side of a hill or diagonally up or down a hill; do not stop,
if possible, while driving up or down an incline.
Keep both hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard at all times while operating
your Scooter. This driving position gives you the most control over your vehicle.
Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces or unprotected ledges or
drop-offs (kerbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
Drive slowly through turns.
Do not use your Scooter as a seat in a moving vehicle. Your Scooter is not designed to be
used as such and cannot protect you in the event of an automobile accident or an abrupt
stop.
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.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash
hands after handling.

II. SAFETY
Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist or wash).
Such exposure can damage the electronics. Never attempt to ride a Scooter that has been
exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
Secure the batteries before loading your Scooter into another vehicle for transport.
Disconnect the batteries if you are not going to operate your Scooter for more than 48
hours.
As you begin to use your Victory XL 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 Victory XL 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 the Scooter to reopen the door.
n Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or Victory XL 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 Victory
XL.
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 Victory XLs 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.

II. SAFETY
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for Scooters. Figure 1 illustrates your
Victory XLs stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled testing conditions.
VICTORY XL 3
Figure 1. Maximum Recommended Incline Angle
Controlled incline testing was conducted with the Victory XLs seat in the highest position, adjusted backward on
the seat base to the farthest rearward position. These tests show that your Victory XLs ability to travel up inclines
is affected by your weight, your Scooters speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your Victory XL setup.
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 3. This shifts the center of gravity of
you and your Victory XL toward the front of the Scooter for improved stability.
Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this manual.

II. SAFETY
Driving Surfaces
Your Victory XL was designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions dry, level surfaces
composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride Mobility Products, Ltd., 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 Victory XL to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.
n Feel free to use your Victory XL 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 Victory XL.
n Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
n If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
