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 authorised Pride 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.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help the user become accustomed to
operating the Scooter safely.
MODIFICATIONS
Pride has designed and engineered your Scooter to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide range of accessories
is available from your 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 not authorised by Pride. Unauthorised
modifications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your Scooter.
