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

WEIGHT LIMITATIONS

WARNING! Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty and may result in personal
injury and damage to your scooter. 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 scooter. Carrying passengers may result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
TYRE INFLATION
If your scooter is equipped with pneumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least
onceaweek.Properinflationpressureswillprolongthelifeofyourtyresandhelpensurethesmoothoperation
of your scooter.
WARNING! It is critically important that 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure be maintained
in pneumatic tyres at all times. Do not underinflate or overinflate your tyres. Low pressure
may result in loss of control and overinflated tyres may burst. Failure to maintain 2-2.4 bar
(30-35 psi) tyre pressure in pneumatic tyres at all times may result in tyre and/or wheel
failure, causing serious personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter tyres from a regulated air source with an available pressure
gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate them, resulting
in a burst tyre and/or personal injury.
INCLINE INFORMATION
Moreand more buildings have rampswith specified degrees of inclination,designed for easy and safe access.
Somerampsmay have turning switchbacks(180-degreeturns)thatrequireyou to have goodcorneringskillson
yourscooter.
!Proceedwithextremecautionasyouapproachthedowngrade of a ramp or other incline.
!Take wide swingswith your scooter around anytight corners. If you do that, the scooter’s rear wheels will
followawidearc,not cut the corner short and not bump intoorgethunguponanyrailingcorners.
!Whendrivingdownaramp,keepthescooter’sspeed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a
safelycontrolleddescent.
!Avoidsudden stops and starts.
When climbing an incline, try to keep your scooter moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly, and then
acceleratecautiously. When driving downan incline, do soby setting the speed adjustment dial to the slowest
settinganddrivingintheforwarddirectiononly.If your scooter starts to move down the incline faster than you
anticipatedordesired, allow it to come toacomplete stop by releasing the throttlecontrollever.Then push the
throttlecontrol leverforwardslightlytoensureasafely controlleddescent.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the
incline. Drive your scooter straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a
tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! Do not drive your scooter across the side of an incline or diagonally up or down
an incline; do not stop, if possible, while driving up or down an incline.
WARNING! You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas
covered with snow, ice, cut grass or wet leaves).

Destiny www.pridemobility.com
II. SAFETY
WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the scooter in freewheel
mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! Even though your scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater than that
illustrated in figure 1, do not, under any circumstances, exceed the incline guidelines or
any other specifications presented in this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your
scooter, resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.
Handicap public access ramps are not subject to government regulation in all countries, and therefore do not

WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than what is shown in figure

injury.

NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the
powered scooter may roll back approximately 30.5 cm (1 foot) before the brake engages. If the throttle
control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered scooter may roll back approximately 1
metre (3 feet) before the brake engages.

CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessivelyhigh cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of
tippinginclude, butarenot limitedto,corneringspeed,steeringangle(howsharplyyouareturning),unevenroad
surfaces,inclinedroadsurfaces,ridingfromanareaoflowtractiontoanareaofhightraction(suchaspassingfrom
a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while turning) and abrupt directional changes. High
cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and
steeringangle(i.e., lessen thesharpnessoftheturn) topreventyourscooterfrom tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. When using your scooter at higher
speeds, do not corner sharply. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. To avoid
personal injury or property damage, always exercise common sense when cornering.

PUBLIC STREETS AND ROADWAYS
WARNING! You should not operate your scooter on public streets and roadways. Be aware
that it may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your scooter. Obey all
local pedestrian traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with
extreme caution.
STATIONARY OBSTACLES (STEPS, KERBS, ETC.)
WARNING! Do not drive near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (kerbs,
porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter climb or descend an obstacle that is
inordinately high. Serious personal injury and/or damage may result.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your scooter proceed rearward down any step, kerb
or other obstacle. This may cause the scooter to tip and cause personal injury.

can cause personal injury and/or damage to the scooter and electrical system. Maintain
and store your scooter in a dry and clean condition.
FREEWHEEL MODE
Your scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pushed forward, allows the scooter to be
pushed. For more information about how to place your scooter into and out of freewheel mode, see IV.
“Your Scooter.”
WARNING! When your scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is disengaged.
!Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.

!Stand beside the scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never sit on
a scooter to do this.
!After you have finished pushing your scooter, always return it to the drive mode
to lock the brakes.
Failure to heed the above could result in personal injury and/or damage to your scooter.

MOTOR VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your scooter while traveling in a motor vehicle. The
scooter should be stowed in the boot of a car or in the back of a truck or van with the batteries removed and
properly secured.
WARNING! Do not sit on your scooter while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or

being transported. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or damage to your
scooter.
PREVENTING UNINTENDED MOVEMENT
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period
of time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent throttle
control lever contact. Failure to do so may result in personal injury.

WARNING! Be aware that cell phones, two-way radios, laptops and other types of radio
transmitters may cause unintended movement of your electrically-powered mobility vehicle
due to EMI. Exercise caution when using any of these items while operating your mobility
vehicle and avoid coming into close proximity of radio and TV stations.
WARNING! The addition of accessories or components to the electrically-powered mobility
vehicle can increase the susceptibility of the vehicle to EMI. Do not modify your scooter in
any way not authorised by Pride.
WARNING! The electrically-powered mobility vehicle itself can disturb the performance
of other electrical devices located nearby, such as alarm systems.
NOTE: For more information on EMI/RFI, visit the Resource Center on www.pridemobility.com. If
