II. SAFETY
Weight Limitations
Yourpowerchair isratedfor amaximumweight capacity.Pleasereferto thespecificationstable forthislimit.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity of your power chair. 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 power chair. Carrying passengers on your power
chair may affect the center of gravity, resulting in a tip or a fall.
Tire Inflation
Ifyourpowerchair isequippedwith pneumatictires,you shouldcheckor havetheair pressurecheckedregularly.Proper
inflationpressureswillprolong thelifeof yourtiresand helpensurethe smoothoperationof yourpowerchair.
WARNING! It is important that 35 psi (2.4 bar/240 kPa) tire pressure 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 35 psi (2.4 bar/240 kPa) tire pressure
in pneumatic tires at all times may result in tire and/or wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your power chair drive 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.
Incline Information

!Takewideswingswithyourpowerchair’s frontwheels aroundanytightcorners.Ifyoudothat,the powerchair’s rear
wheelswill follow a widearc,notcut the corner short,andnotbump into or gethungupon any railing corners.
!When driving down a ramp, keep the power chair’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a
safelycontrolleddescent.
!Avoid sudden stops and starts.

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.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the
incline. Drive your power 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! Never travel down an incline backward. Doing so may cause the power chair
to tip. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! If your power chair is equipped with a reclining seatback, do not attempt to
negotiate inclines with the seat in a reclined position. Do not attempt to negotiate obstacles
with the seat in a reclined position unless an attendant is present to help stabilize the
chair. Failure to heed may result in the power chair tipping over.

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.

Cornering Information
Whileyour power chair is equipped withfrontandrearcasterwheels, excessively high cornering speeds can stillcreate
thepossibility of tipping. Factors which affect the possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to: cornering speed,
steeringangle (how sharply you areturning), uneven roadsurfaces, inclined roadsurfaces, riding froman area oflow
tractionto an area ofhigh traction (suchas passingfrom a grassyarea to apaved area– especially athigh speedwhile
turning),and abrupt directional changes. Highcorneringspeedsarenotrecommended. If you feel that youmaytipover
in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the turn) to prevent your power chair
fromtipping.
WARNING! When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of gravity.
This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.

Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more
informationabout yourpowerchair’sbatteries,seeVI.“Batteries andCharging.”
MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling and wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to
lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid lifting
beyond your capacity.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery.
Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING! Connect the battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables must be
connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must be connected
to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Protective caps should be installed over all battery
terminals. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.
Removable Parts
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable parts, including the
armrests, seat, foot riggings, controller, and shrouds.
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.
Reaching and Bending
Neverreach,lean,orbendwhile drivingyourpowerchair.Ifit isabsolutelynecessarytoreach, lean,orbendwhileseated

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 or if you have to reach over the back of the
seat. Movements such as these may change your center of gravity and the weight
distribution of the power chair. This may cause your power chair to tip.
WARNING! Keep your hands away from the tires when driving. Be aware that loose fitting
clothing can become caught in drive tires.

have an adverse affect on the performance of electrically-powered mobility vehicles.
Electromagneticand Radio FrequencyInterference can comefrom sourcessuch ascellular phones,mobile two-way
radios(such as walkie-talkies), radio stations,TVstations,amateurradio(HAM) transmitters, wireless computer links,
microwavesignals,pagingtransmitters, and medium-range mobile transceivers used byemergency vehicles. In some

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 power 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 power chair off as soon as it is safe to do so. Call Pride
