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. For details on how to perform these necessary
inspections, see XII. Care and Maintenance.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your scooter:
n
Check for proper tire inflation (if equipped with pneumatic tires).
n
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
n
Check all harness connections. Make sure they are secured properly.
n
Check the brakes.
n
Check battery charge.
If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.
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 scooter 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.
n
Avoid sudden stops and starts.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to the specifications table for information.
BRAKING INFORMATION
Your scooter is equipped with these powerful brake systems:
n
Regenerative: Uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle when the throttle control lever returns to the center/
stop position.
n
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.
WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity 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 may result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
