NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for assistance.

Weight Limitations

Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specifications table for this limit.

WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal injury

and/or damage to your power chair. 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 power chair. Carrying passengers on your power

chair may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

Tire Inflation

If your power chair is equipped with pneumatic tires, you should check or have the air pressure checked regularly. Proper

inflation pressures will prolong the life of your tires and help ensure the smooth operation of your power chair.

WARNING! It is important that 35 psi tire pressure be maintained in pneumatic tires at all times.

Do not underinflate or overinflate your tires. Low pressure may result in loss of control, and

overinflated tires may burst. Failure to maintain 35 psi tire pressure in pneumatic tires at all times

may result in tire and/or wheel failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your

power chair.

WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tires from a regulated air source with an available pressure

gauge. Inflating your tires from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting in a

burst tire and/or personal injury.

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 power chair.

n

Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or other incline.

n

Take wide swings with your power chair’s front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the power chair’s 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 power chair’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a

safely controlled descent.  See  VIII. “Operation.”

n

Avoid sudden stops and starts.

When climbing an incline, try to keep your power chair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate

cautiously. When driving down an incline, set your power chair to the slowest setting and drive in the forward direction

only. If your power chair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired, allow it to come to a

complete stop by releasing the joystick, then push the joystick forward slightly to ensure a safely controlled descent.
