Boxster

FREEWHEEL MODE

Your Scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that when pulled up allows the Scooter to be pushed.   For

more information about how to place your Scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see IV. “Your Boxster.”

TYRE INFLATION

If your Scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least once

a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tyres and help ensure the smooth operation of your

Scooter.

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.

PUBLIC STREETS  AND ROADWAYS

NOTE: Safety accessories like reflectors, fluorescent flags, and various lighting packages are available to

order from your authorised Pride provider.

WARNING!  It  is  critically  important  that  pneumatic  tyres  be  inflated  to  30-35  psi.  Do  not

underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Improper tyre pressure may result in catastrophic tyre and/or

wheel failure. Serious personal injury and/or property damage may result.

WARNING! Inflate your Scooter drive tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure

gauge. Minimum air pressure for Scooter drive tyres is 30-35 psi. Inflating your tyres from an

unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a burst tyre and/or personal injury.

WARNING! Do not use your Scooter in freewheel mode without an attendant present. Personal

injury may result.

WARNING! Do not attempt to personally place your Scooter in freewheel mode while seated on it.

Personal injury may result. Ask an attendant for assistance if necessary.

WARNING! Do not place your Scooter in freewheel mode while on an incline.  The Scooter could

roll uncontrollably on its own, causing personal injury.

INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

WARNING! Pride recommends that you 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 safety of your Scooter.

WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not expose your Scooter to any type of moisture at any

time (rain, snow, mist, or wash).  Such exposure can damage your Scooter. Never operate your

Scooter if it has been exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
