and/or damage to your Go-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 Go-Chair. Carrying passengers on your Go-Chair may
result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Incline Information

!Whendriving down a ramp, keep thetravelchair’sspeed adjustment set to the slowestspeedsettingto ensure a
safelycontrolled descent.SeeVII. “Operation.”
!Avoid suddenstopsandstarts.
Whenclimbing anincline, trytokeep yourGo-Chairmoving. Ifyou muststop,start upagainslowly andthen accelerate

IfyourGo-Chairstartstomove downtheinclinefasterthan youanticipatedordesired,allow ittocometoa completestop
byreleasingthejoystick, thenpush thejoystick forwardslightly toensureasafelycontrolled descent.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.
Drive your Go-Chair straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or a fall.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating 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! When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the Go-Chair in freewheel mode
while seated on it or standing next to it. Doing so may result in personal injury and/or damage to
your Go-Chair.
WARNING! Never travel down an incline backwards. This may result in personal injury.
WARNING! Even though your Go-Chair 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
thismanual.Doingso could causeinstability inyourGo-Chair,resulting in personal injuryand/ordamageto
yourGo-Chair.
Incompliance withtheAmericanswith DisabilitiesAct of1990, all handicappublicaccess rampsarerequired to havea
maximumslope of5°(8.7%). Therefore, Priderecommendsthat themaximumslope of anincline you attempttosafely
ascend or descend on your Go-Chair does not exceed 5° (8.7%). See figure 1.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° (8.7%) may put your Go-Chair
in an unstable position and cause it to tip, resulting in personal injury.

a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your Go-Chair from
tipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed. This greatly reduces the possibility of a
tip or fall. To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, always exercise common sense when
cornering.
Public Streets and Roadways
WARNING! You should not operate your Go-Chair on public streets and roadways. Be aware that it
may be difficult for traffic to see you when you are seated on your Go-Chair. Obey all local pedestrian
traffic rules. Wait until your path is clear of traffic, and then proceed with extreme caution.

dryyour Go-Chairbeforestoring, charging,oroperatingyour Go-Chair.
WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfaces can
cause personal injury and/or damage to the Go-Chair and electrical system. Maintain and store
your Go-Chair in a dry and clean condition.
Motor Vehicle Transport
Currently, there are nostandards approved for tie-down systems in a moving vehicle ofany type to transport a person
whileseated inaGo-Chair.
Positioning Belts
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your Go-Chair, make sure it is fastened
securely. Serious personal injury may result if you fall from the Go-Chair.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is
your Go-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 Go-Chair while it is in a moving vehicle. Personal injury and/or
property damage may result.
WARNING! Always be sure your Go-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 Go-Chair.

that the Go-Chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a
attendant.
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 Go-Chair. This may cause your Go-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
informationaboutyourtravelchair’sbatteries, seeVI.“BatteriesandCharging.”
WARNING! Go-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.

II. SAFETY
Removable Parts
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a Go-Chair by any of its removable parts. Personal injury
and/or damage to the Go-Chair may result.
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 joystick contact. This
will also eliminate the possibility of unintended chair movement from electromagnetic (EM) sources.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury.
Prescription Drugs/Physical Limitations
Usersmust exercisecareand commonsensewhen operating aGo-Chair.This includesawareness of safetyissues when
takingprescribedorover-the-counterdrugsor whenthe userhas specificphysical limitations.
WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or
if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability
to operate your Go-Chair in a safe manner.
Alcohol

WARNING! Do not operate your Go-Chair while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this may
impair your ability to operate your Go-Chair in a safe manner.
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.
Electromagneticand Radio Frequency Interference can come from sources such as cellular phones, mobile two-way
radios(such as walkie-talkies),radiostations, TV stations,amateur radio (HAM)transmitters,wireless computer links,
microwavesignals, paging transmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles. In some
cases,thesewavescan causeunintendedmovement ordamagetothecontrolsystem.Everyelectrically-poweredmobility
vehiclehasanimmunity(orresistance)toEMI.Thehighertheimmunitylevel,thegreatertheprotectionagainstEMI.This
producthas been tested andhaspassed at an immunity levelof20 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 chair in any way
not authorized 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 further information on EMI/RFI, go to the Resource Center on www.pridemobility.com. If unintended
motion or brake release occurs, turn your travel chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride at 800-424-8205
to report the incident.
