PerformthefollowinginspectionspriortousingyourTravelScooter:
!Checkforpropertire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on
eachtire ifequippedwith pneumatictyres.
!Checkallelectricalconnections. Make sure they aretightandnotcorroded.
!Checkallharnessconnections.Makesure they are secured properly.
!Check the brakes.
!Checkbatterycharge.
Ifyoudiscover a problem, contactyourauthorizedPride Provider for assistance.
TIRE INFLATION
IfyourTravelScooterisequippedwithpneumatictires,youshouldcheckorhavetheairpressurecheckedatleastonce
aweek.ProperinflationpressureswillprolongthelifeofyourtiresandhelpensurethesmoothoperationofyourTravel
Scooter.
WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated on each tire
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 the psi/bar/kPa air pressure rating indicated on pneumatic tires at all times may
result in tire and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your Travel Scooter 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.
NOTE: If the tires on your Travel Scooter list the psi rating only, use the following conversion formu-
las to find the bar or kPa rating: bar=psi x 0.06895, kPa= psi x 6.89476.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
YourTravelScooterisratedfora maximumweightcapacity. Refertothespecificationstableforinformation.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your Travel Scooter. Exceeding
the weight capacity voids your warranty. 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 Travel Scooter. Carrying passengers on your
Travel Scooter may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
INCLINE INFORMATION
Moreand more buildings have ramps with specified degreesofinclination, designed for easy and safe access.

WARNING! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the Travel Scooter
in freewheel mode, especially while seated on it or standing next to it.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face
of the incline. Drive your Travel 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 driveyour Travel 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).
WARNING! Even though your Travel Scooter is capable of climbing slopes greater
than those 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 Travel 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

WARNING! Never carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 15 lbs. (6.8 kg). Never fill the
front or rear basket with contents exceeding 15 lbs. (6.8 kg).

NOTE: When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while moving forward, the
powered Travel Scooter may "rollback" approximately 1 foot (30.5 cm) before the brake engages. If the
throttle control lever is released while moving in reverse, the powered Travel Scooter may "rollback"
approximately 3 feet (1 meter) before the brake engages.
CORNERING INFORMATION
Excessivelyhigh cornering speeds can create thepossibilityof tipping. Factors which affect thepossibility of
tippinginclude, butarenot limitedto,cornering speed,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., lessenthesharpnessof theturn)toprevent yourTravelScooterfromtipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of
gravity. When using your Travel Scooter at higher speeds, do not corner sharply. This
greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall. Always exercise common sense when
cornering.

porches, stairs, etc.).
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Travel Scooter climb or descend an obstacle that
is inordinately high.
WARNING! Do not attempt to have your Travel Scooter proceed backward down any step,
curb, or other obstacle. This may cause the Travel Scooter to tip.
WARNING! Be sure your Travel Scooter is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be
required to ascend or descend. See figures 3 and 4.
WARNING! Do not attempt to negotiate a curb that has a height greater than 2 in. (5 cm).

PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy slippery
surfaces can have an adverse affect on the electrical system. Maintain and store your
Travel Scooter in a dry and clean condition.
WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature of
upholstered and non-upholstered items on the Travel Scooter, possibly resulting in skin
irritation. Exercise caution when using your Travel Scooter in extremely hot or cold conditions
or when exposing your Travel Scooter to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time.
FREEWHEEL MODE
Your Travel Scooter is equipped with a manual freewheel lever that, when pushed forward, allows theTravel
Scootertobe pushed. For more information about how to placeyourTravel Scooter into and out of freewheel
mode,seeIII.“YourTravel Scooter.”
WARNING! When your Travel Scooter is in freewheel mode, the braking system is
disengaged.
!Disengage the drive motors only on a level surface.
!Ensure the key is removed from the key switch.
!Stand to the side of the Travel Scooter to engage or disengage freewheel mode. Never
sit on a Travel Scooter to do this.
!After you have finished pushing your Travel Scooter, always return it to the drive mode
to lock the brakes.

protective caps should be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be
transported with any flammable or combustible items.
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.

ELECTROMAGNETIC AND RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (EMI/RFI)
WARNING! Laboratory tests have shown that electromagnetic and radio frequency waves
can have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
ElectromagneticandRadio FrequencyInterferencecancome fromsourcessuchas cellularphones,mobiletwo-
way radios (such as walkie-talkies), radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, wireless
computerlinks,microwavesignals,pagingtransmitters,andmedium-rangemobiletransceiversusedbyemergency
vehicles.In some cases, these waves can cause unintendedmovementor damage to the control system. Every
electrically-poweredmobility vehiclehasanimmunity(orresistance)toEMI. Thehighertheimmunitylevel,the
greatertheprotection against EMI.Thisproducthas been testedandhaspassed at animmunitylevelof 20 V/M.
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 Travel
Scooter in any way not authorized by Pride.
