SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
nDo not leave the key in the switch when your Celebrity XL is unattended.
nMake certain that the seat is locked into place and that the key is removed from the key switch before
getting on or off of your Celebrity XL, and make certain that the seat is in a locked position when you
are operating your Scooter.
nReduce your Celebrity XLs speed when you are operating it on uneven terrain, soft surfaces, and
around corners.
nProceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or incline and when driving
near a raised surface or unprotected ledges and drop offs (kerbs, porches, stairs, etc.).
nUse extreme caution when operating your Celebrity XL on busy streets and in parking lots or shopping
malls.
nKeep your hands on the tiller and your feet on the floorboard when you are operating your Celebrity
XL.
nMake certain that the tyres are properly inflated (30 psi).
nMake certain that your Celebrity XLs batteries are properly secured when you are transporting your
Scooter in another vehicle.
nDisconnect your Celebrity XLs batteries if you will not be using your Scooter for more than 48 hours.
nBattery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after
handling.
II. SAFETY
WARNING! Do not expose the electronics to any type of moisture (rain, snow, mist, or wash) at any
time. Such exposure can damage the electronics. Never attempt to ride a Scooter that has been
exposed to moisture until it has dried thoroughly.
Do not operate or store your Scooter where it may be exposed to inclement weather conditions
such as rain, snow, mist, and below-freezing temperatures (such as storage on an outside car/van
lift). Attempting to operate your Scooter in such conditions can damage the electronics and
potentially result in loss of control.
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/or
safety of your Scooter.
Always protect batteries from freezing temperatures and never charge a frozen battery. his will
damage the battery and may cause personal injury. Charging a battery in freezing conditions does
not prevent the battery from freezing.
As you begin to use your Celebrity XL during your daily activities, you will encounter situations that may require
some practice. Simply take your time as you operate your Scooter 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.
DOORS
nDetermine if the door opens toward or away from you.
nUse your hand to turn the knob or push the handle or push-bar.
nDrive your Celebrity XL slowly forward to push the door open; or drive your Scooter slowly backwards as
you pull the door open.

ELEVATORS
Modern elevators have a door-edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s).
nIf you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or
allow the rubber door edge to contact the Scooter to reopen the door.
nUse care that pocketbooks, packages, or Celebrity XL accessories do not become caught in the elevator
doors.
RAMPS AND OTHER INCLINES
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination, designed for easy and safe
scooter access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks that require you to have good cornering skills
on your Celebrity XL.
nTake wide swings with your Scooters front wheel(s) around any tight corners. If you do that, the rear
wheels will follow a wide arc and will not cut the corner short, bump into, or get hung up on any railing
corners.
nWhen driving down a ramp, keep your Celebrity XLs speed adjustment dial (see IV. Description) set
to the tortoise (slowest speed setting) to ensure a safely controlled descent.
nAvoid sudden stops and starts.
Other inclines may be natural or, if man-made, not designed specifically for Scooters. Figure 1 illustrates
your Celebrity XLs stability and its ability to climb grades under various weight loads and under controlled
testing conditions.
Pride conducted controlled incline testing with the Celebrity XLs seat in the highest position, adjusted backward
on the seat base to the farthest rearward position. These tests show that your Celebrity XLs ability to travel up
inclines is affected by your weight, your Scooters speed, your angle of approach to the incline, and your Scooter
setup.

Figure 2. Normal Driving Position
When you approach an incline, it is best to lean forward. See figures 2 and 3. This shifts the center of gravity of
you and your Celebrity XL toward the front of the Scooter for improved stability.
Figure 3. Increased Stability Driving Position
DRIVING SURFACES
Your Celebrity XL was designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions  dry, level
surfaces composed of concrete or asphalt. However, Pride recognizes that there will be times when you will
operate your Scooter on surfaces other than concrete or asphalt. For that reason, we also designed your
Celebrity XL to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel.
nFeel free to use your Celebrity XL safely on lawns and in park areas.
nAvoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear.
nPacked soil, gravel, driveways, or roads will not present a problem for your Celebrity XL.
nAvoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
nIf you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
II. SAFETY
WARNING! Do not exceed the incline guidelines or any other specifications presented in this
manual.
