WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the power chair seat to prevent the
power chair from tipping forward during transfer and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the power chair to tip
and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. Such use may cause the power chair to tip and
cause personal injury.
Positioning Belts
Your authorized Pride provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your require-
ment for a positioning belt in order to operate your power chair safely.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your power chair, make sure it is fastened se-
curely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the power chair.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is your power chair
suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should be properly belted into seats
approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING! Do not sit on your power chair while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or property
damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your power chair and its batteries are properly secured when it is being transported.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.
Inclement Weather Precautions
WARNING! Pride recommends that you do not operate your power chair in icy or slippery conditions or on
salted surfaces (i.e., walks or roads). Such use may adversely affect the performance and safety of your power
chair, resulting in an accident and personal injury.
WARNING! Do not expose your power chair to any type of moisture at any time (rain, snow, mist, or wash).
Such exposure can damage your power chair. Never operate your power chair if it has been exposed to mois-
ture until it has dried thoroughly.
Reaching and Bending
Never reach, lean, or bend while driving your power chair. If it is absolutely necessary to reach, lean, or bend while seated on
your power chair, it is important to maintain a stable center of gravity and keep the power chair from tipping. Pride recom-
mends that the power chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of
a qualified heatlthcare professional.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean, or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down
between your knees. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity and the weight distribution
of the power chair. This may cause your power chair to tip, possibly resulting in personal injury. Keep your
hands away from the tires when driving.
Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more information
about your power chair’s batteries, see “Batteries and Charging.”
WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that much weight,
be sure to get help. Lifting beyond your capacity can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands
after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging a frozen
battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
