OUTDOOR DRIVING SURFACES
Your scooter is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditionsdry, 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.
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.

WARNING! You 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. 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.

to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 4.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 2 in.
