SAFETY
WARNING! Do not operate your new power chair for the first time without completely
reading and understanding this owner’s manual.
Your power chair 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 power chair user. Please be aware that
the final selection and purchasing decision regarding the type of power chair to be used is the responsibility
of the power chair 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 power chair to the user and has assisted the prescribing healthcare professional and/or the authorized
Pride provider in the instruction process for the use of the product.
There are certain situations, including some medical conditions, where the power chair user will need to
practice operating the power chair 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 power chair user in various daily
living activities.
As you begin using your power chair 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 of 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 power chair safely.
Modifications
Pride has designed and engineered your power chair to provide maximum mobility and utility. A wide
range of accessories is available from your authorized Pride provider to further customize your power chair
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 power chair.
WARNING! Do not modify your power chair in any way not authorized by Pride. Unautho-
rized modifications may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.
Pre-Ride Safety Check
Get to know the feel of your power chair and its capabilities. Pride recommends that you perform a safety
check before each use to make sure your power chair operates smoothly and safely. See X. “Care and
Maintenance.”
