NOTE: If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride provider for assistance.
Weight Limitations
Your power chair is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Please refer to the specificatio s table for this limit.

If your power chair is equipped with p eumatic tyres, you should check or have the air pressure checked at least
o ce a week. Proper i flatio pressures will prolo g the life of your tyres a d help e sure the smooth operatio of
your power chair.
WARNING! It is important that 2-2.4 bar (30-35 psi) tyre pressure be maintained in pneu-
matic 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 power chair.
WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive tyres from a regulated air source with an avail-
able pressure gauge. Inflating your tyres from an unregulated air source could overinflate
them, resulting in a burst tyre and/or personal injury.

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 power 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 power chair.
WARNING! Never travel down an incline rearwards. his may result in personal injury.
WARNING! Even though your power 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 this manual. Doing so could cause instability in your power chair,
resulting in personal injury and/or damage to your power chair.
Pride recomme ds that the maximum slope of a i cli e you attempt to safely asce d or desce d o your power
chair does ot exceed 8.7%. See figure 1.

Your power chair is equipped with two powerful brake systems:
1. Rege erative  uses electricity to rapidly slow the vehicle whe the joystick retur s to the ce ter/stop positio .
2. Disc Park Brake  activates mecha ically after rege erative braki g slows the vehicle to ear stop, or whe
power is removed from the system for a y reaso .
Cornering Information
While your power chair is equipped with rear caster wheels i back a d a ti-tip wheels i fro t, excessively high
cor eri g speeds ca still create the possibility of tippi g. Factors which affect the possibility of tippi g i clude, but
are ot limited to: cor eri g speed, steeri g a gle (how sharply you are tur i g), u eve road surfaces, i cli ed
road surfaces, ridi g from a area of low tractio to a area of high tractio (such as passi g from a grassy area to
a paved area  especially at high speed while tur i g), a d abrupt directio al cha ges. High cor eri g speeds are
ot recomme ded. If you feel that you may tip over i a cor er, reduce your speed a d steeri g a gle (i.e., lesse
the sharp ess of the tur ) to preve t your power chair from tippi g.
